Staining on Lumineers?

I have been using Crest Pro-Health mouthwash for a month. I have noticed bad brown stains on my teeth. Yesterday, I had Lumineers placed on top of my stained teeth, not realizing that Crest Pro-health was causing this problem.

I have also used this mouthwash, today, the day after getting my Lumineers. Is it going to stain the Lumineers? I will not use this mouth wash any longer. Since I have gotten Lumineers placed on top of the brown teeth instead of getting the stains removed first, will my real teeth become damaged underneath. What do you suggest I do?
