I've heard about acid ruining granite worktops. Does anybody know if marble worktops suffer from any problems like this?

Just to help you all hopefully

Granite is a metamorphic stone. Its mineral composits are not acid sensitive so any acids spilt on to the stone will not etch the stone.

Basalt has a very similar look to granite and has been sold as granite effect but basalt is acid sensitive and you can get light surface ethching(white marks)

Marble is 50% calcium carbonate and is highly acid sensitive, and can be etched easily.

With regards to the stains in the granite you could use a product called aquamix poultice to draw out the stain. I would then seal with their ultra solve sealer....

just type in aquamix into google and you will find a distibutor called trades direct, they are the cheapest i have found....

hope this helps...
