Polished concrete dining tables are sealed to resist staining, but like any premium surface they are not completely stain proof. This guide explains how stain resistance works, what liquids can cause marking and how to protect your table long term.

How Stain Resistance Works

Modern polished concrete tables are sealed with penetrating and surface sealers that create a protective barrier. This prevents most everyday liquids from soaking into the surface.

What Can Cause Staining

Wine, coffee, citrus juice, vinegar and oils are the most common causes of surface marking when left on the table for extended periods.

How Long Before Stains Occur

Spills wiped within a few minutes will not mark the surface. Liquids left for several hours can begin to penetrate the protective seal.

How To Prevent Stains

Wipe spills promptly, use placemats for drinks and avoid leaving acidic liquids on the surface overnight.

Long Term Protection

Resealing every few years refreshes stain resistance and restores the original finish.
