To remove a stain from a marble surface, you must use a process of extraction. If the marker is solvent based you may try a very absorbent powder such as talc powder or baby white powder and mix with acetone (the one found in the paint section at a hardware store)to a thick paste. Apply the paste to cover the stain and overlap. Cover the paste with a piece of plastic and using blue masking tape, tape all the edges to the marble surface. Let stand for 24hrs. After 24hrs, remove the plastic and leave the paste in place. Let the paste stand for at least 24hrs or until it is completely dried. After about 24hrs, remove the paste and inspect to see if it made any difference. By this time the stain should be gone. If not, but the process made a difference, try all the above steps again. Final step is to properly clean the entire marble floor and seal it. Good Luck Thank you for your question.
