Preparation: Make sure all surfaces not meant to be treated are covered and/or taped for their protection.
Approximate Coverage: 4 to 6 sq ft per lb depending on porosity of stone.
Directions for use:
1. Wet the area to be treated, then apply paste to surface 1/8 to 1/4 inches thick using a trowel, airless sprayer or other suitable applicator.
2. Cover the poultice with plastic film and let stay for 24 hours. It will cling to the surface. Tape down the edges.

Insert a corrosion-resistant spatula, trowel or other suitable scraping device under the paste, and carefully lift from the surface. Non-metal tools are preferred to avoid scratching the surface. Remove as much residue as possible.
5. Rinse the surface thoroughly with fresh water, using a sponge, soft cloth or low-pressure/low-volume water-rinsing equipment.

Want to know more about the best granite stain remover on the market? We answer some of the most-asked questions about our granite stain removal poultice below.
Yes. Our stone stain remover is designed to remove stains from food and other organic sources that may end up on your granite countertop. It works particularly well for oil stains and can be used to remove wine, coffee, urine, cooking grease, olive oil, and other organic stains.
All stones are generally considered absorbent, subject to exceptions. Due to their natural absorbency, most natural stones absorb liquids. Therefore, a true stain will occur if such liquids are staining agents. It is vital to note that an actual stain should be darker than the stained surface. Sealants are generally applied on granite countertops to prevent the stone from absorbing the liquids it comes into contact with. Still, if you're noticing deep-seated stains on your granite countertop, it may be because the sealant has worn off. This is often an indication that your granite surfaces need to be resealed.
The Stain Reaper is a poultice paste that works wonders for a large number of stains. As a prime stain remover for natural stones, the Stain Reaper treats oil-based discolorations, dirt, and highly embedded marks. This product is easy to use and potent, and it doesn't release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause a number of adverse health effects. It's your best bet when you want a product that can pull out stubborn, tough stains, such as deep-seated oil, harmful salts, or other hard-to-remove marks. You can use it safely on granite, marble, limestone, or travertine, as well as countertops with polished finishes.

It's also important to note that this product must be used on surfaces that have a temperature of at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Applying this granite stain remover below this temperature can result in damage to the surface.
It's also important to tape off any sections that do not need treatment and avoid using a metal scraper to prevent damage to the surface.

It does not. You likely won’t need it, as you should have a poultice powder that's completely dry when finished. You can simply wipe it away.

We recommend applying plastic wrap over the poultice granite stain remover when treating an oil stain to keep the poultice wet for longer. This will trap the moisture for more effective granite stain removal.
Baking soda, typically mixed with hydrogen peroxide, is often recommended as a home remedy for removing stains from granite. While it may remove stains superficially, a poultice powder is necessary for stain removal when oil-based stains have soaked deep into the stone.
