You can purchase poultices at a home improvement store in your community. Some popular poultices for Carrara marble include: Fuller’s earth, whiting, diatomaceous earth, talc, and powdered chalk. Most all poultices should work to effectively remove stains from your marble.
Avoid letting the poultice sit for any longer than two days. This could damage your marble.
Use a rag dampened in a warm water and soap/detergent mixture to remove any residual poultice.
Avoid applying poultice to the same spot more than two or three times. This could permanently damage the marble. Consult a professional if a repeat application of poultice does not remove a stain.
Wait at least 24 hours after testing. This will give you enough time to see if the product has harmed the marble. Consider testing poultice or other cleaning products underneath the granite where it overhangs a cabinet.

You may need to reseal your marble after three to five years. Polished Carrara marble may not need to be sealed. Honed Carrara marble should always be sealed. If it is not sealed, it will absorb any liquids that are spilled on it. [4] X Research source
