Ultimate Protection for Your Natural Stone in Kansas City
The Hidden Threat to Your Beautiful Stone Surfaces
Have you invested in elegant marble countertops or other natural stone surfaces for your Kansas City home? While these surfaces add timeless beauty to your space, many homeowners don't realize they face a constant threat from everyday items in your kitchen and bathroom.
Common household products like:
- Lemon juice and citrus fruits
- Vinegar and vinegar-based cleaners
- Wine and alcoholic beverages
- Coffee and tea
- Soft drinks and carbonated beverages
- Many personal care products
These can quickly damage your stone's surface through a process called etching. Unlike regular stains that sit on the surface, etching actually eats away at your stone, creating dull spots that traditional sealers cannot prevent.
Why Traditional Stone Sealers Fail to Protect Against Etching
Traditional stone sealers only provide protection against staining by blocking liquids from penetrating porous stone surfaces. However, etching is a chemical reaction that occurs on the surface when acidic substances come into contact with calcium-based stones like marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx.
Even with the highest-quality standard sealer:
- Acidic substances will still cause etching
- You must wipe spills immediately (often not practical)
- You need frequent reapplication every 6-12 months
- Your stone remains vulnerable to chemical damage

Surface Damage
Etching occurs when acidic substances (like lemon juice, vinegar, wine, or certain cleaners) come into contact with acid-sensitive stones such as marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx. Unlike stains that simply discolor the surface, etching actually damages the stone by dissolving the calcite minerals, creating dull spots and rough patches that traditional sealers cannot prevent. These marks permanently alter your stone's appearance and texture, reducing its value and beauty. Even everyday items in your kitchen and bathroom pose a constant threat to these vulnerable surfaces, which is why specialized protection like MORE™ AntiEtch™ is essential for maintaining your stone's pristine condition.
Complete Protection
Traditional stone sealers only fill the pores of the stone to prevent liquid penetration and staining, but they offer no protection against etching. When acids contact the surface, they still damage the stone even with a conventional sealer applied. MORE™ AntiEtch™ works differently by creating an invisible, ultra-thin protective barrier on top of the stone rather than just in the pores. This revolutionary crystal-clear coating acts as a shield that prevents acidic substances from ever reaching the stone surface, protecting against both etching and staining simultaneously. Unlike ordinary sealers that need frequent reapplication, MORE™ AntiEtch™ provides durable protection with an expected lifespan of up to 10 years, making it a superior long-term solution for preserving your valuable stone investments.
Not At All
No, MORE™ AntiEtch™ is specifically designed to maintain your stone's natural beauty while providing superior protection. The coating is crystal-clear and ultra-thin, preserving the original color, pattern, and texture of your stone surfaces. Whether your stone has a polished, honed, or leathered finish, MORE™ AntiEtch™ won't alter its appearance or create a plastic-like look that some coatings can cause. The treatment is virtually invisible once applied, allowing the natural characteristics of your stone to shine through unimpeded. This means you get all the protection benefits without sacrificing any of the aesthetic qualities that made you choose natural stone in the first place.
Routine Cleaning
After applying MORE™ AntiEtch™, maintenance becomes remarkably simple compared to untreated stone surfaces. You can clean your protected surfaces with gentle, pH-neutral cleaners—harsh chemicals are no longer needed to maintain your stone's appearance. The treatment eliminates the need for immediate cleanup of acidic spills that would otherwise cause permanent damage, giving you peace of mind during everyday use. If minor scratches occur over time, they can be easily repaired without requiring a complete reapplication. Unlike untreated surfaces that may need professional restoration every 1-3 years due to etching damage, MORE™ AntiEtch™ treated surfaces can maintain their beauty with simple routine cleaning for up to a decade, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs and effort.
