Stone
Due to stone characteristics, you must avoid certain solutions (like acids, coffee, alcohol) coming in contact with the stone. This also applies to cleaning products (including vinegar, lemon juice or other cleaners containing acids)
To minimize the effect of the etching and staining you should try protecting this beautiful and natural material by putting a coaster under items, such as glasses, placed on the marble surface, especially if they contain alcohol or acid as well as having a renewal of the coating done yearly or twice per year
To clean the stone surface use warm water and a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth. It is the best method for cleaning, but it will not remove etching or stains that are permeated on the surface 

What to avoid
Do not use solid placemats under ceramics, such as silver or other solid objects that may scratch the stone surface

Do not use bleach, ammonia, general-purpose cleaners or abrasive cleaning agents, abrasive paper or steel wool

Do not use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, tub cleaners or tile cleaners

Do not use alkaline cleaners not specifically formulated for natural stone

Do not leave pools of water on the stone surface, as it could end up leaving stains
 
What can be used
Stone surfaces can be treated with a special anti-stain and anti-oil products
Professional refinishing is recommended to remove etch marks and restore the stone’s natural finishing. However, if you do not have access to it, you can manually remove the stains

If a stain is particularly difficult, use a soft scrub pad to buss out the stain and wipe it with a cloth to remove the dust
Finally, you may apply stone sealant to re-establish protection on the affected areas. If you choose to seal your marble, use a quality product and follow the manufacturer’s directions for use (stone sealants can be purchased at almost any home improvement centre)
