How AntiEtch® Protects Luxury Kitchen Islands from Daily Wear and Tear

Luxury kitchen islands serve as the heart of the home—whether for meal prep, entertaining guests, or gathering with family. But when your island is made of marble, limestone, or another acid-sensitive stone, it can quickly show signs of wear.

Spilled wine, citrus juice, coffee, and even regular cleaning can cause etching and stains, making high-end kitchen islands difficult to maintain. The good news? AntiEtch® provides a long-lasting, worry-free solution to protect your investment.

The Biggest Threats to Marble Kitchen Islands

Unlike small countertops, kitchen islands are large focal points that endure constant activity. The most common threats include:

• Spilled wine, coffee, and citrus juice: These acidic liquids can cause permanent etching.
• Cooking oils and sauces: Some ingredients leave behind stubborn stains.
• Frequent cleaning: Many household cleaners contain chemicals that degrade marble over time.
• Cutting and food prep: Even with a cutting board, minor scratches and marks can develop.

Without proper protection, a marble island can start looking dull and damaged far sooner than expected.
