The church across the street is tearing out their whole parking lot and replacing it. Beyond the giant trucks rumbling by and jackhammers and whatnot, I've been waking up to my house literally shaking from all the crap going on over there. This morning I wake up and find a whole bottle of red wine has worked its way off the wine rack and shattered on my kitchen floor. I have marble tile and cleaning this up has turned out to be much more complicated than I thought. The wine was pretty well seeped in and dry by the time I found it and marble tiles have pores in them so its not a simple mop up job. I have tried every damn cleaner in the closet on this stain and nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas on how to get wine out or clean marble tiles? Right now it looks like I might have to break out the heavy duty buffer or replace the tiles altogether.

Wikipedia wrote:A poultice, also called cataplasm, is a soft moist mass, often heated and medicated, that is spread on cloth over the skin to treat an aching, inflamed, or painful part of the body. It can also be a porous solid filled with solvent used to remove stains from porous stone such as marble or granite.

That really sucks by the way. I've learned to hate breaking bottles of red wine.

I'd also suggest sealing your floor and getting a wine rack that a bottle can't work its way out of, but that's probably not new information.
