# How to remove stains from solid surface — a chart by stain type — what works and what to avoid 
If a stain appears on the surface, the main rule is: don't reach for a harsh abrasive. Solid surface cleans up easily once you match the right product to the specific stain.

## Chart
## Stain → safe removal → what to avoid
01
Coffee, tea, wine, juice, dyes
✓  A soft sponge with ordinary dish soap. For a set-in stain, use [ALBELA Stone Polish](https://albela.ru/en/catalog/care/stone-polish/) polishing paste.
✕  Leaving a stain overnight, scrubbing with a stiff brush.
02
Limescale, soap film
✓  [ALBELA Daily Clean](https://albela.ru/en/catalog/care/daily-clean/) spray, or a 1:1 solution of white vinegar (9%) and water.
✕  Aggressive acid-based toilet and pipe cleaners.
03
Rust (from a can, a razor)
✓  A paste of baking soda and water — apply for 5 minutes, wipe off gently. Or a dedicated rust remover.
✕  Metal scourers, dry abrasive powders.
04
Nail polish, paint, marker
✓  Acetone-free nail polish remover on a cotton pad, followed by a thorough rinse with water.
✕  Pure acetone, construction solvents.
Coffee, tea, wine — sponge and dish soap. Limescale — Daily Clean or a vinegar solution. Rust — baking soda paste, 5 minutes. Nail polish, paint, marker — acetone-free remover.
## If a stain won't budge
## When the chart isn't enough
ALBELA solid surface is uniform all the way through, so even a set-in mark or a micro-scratch can be removed by polishing — unlike ceramic or enamel, where a stain is permanent. For daily care, a full list of what to avoid and how to restore the surface, see the [full care guide](https://albela.ru/en/solid-surface-care/).
