Best Secrets Restoring The Marble In Your Dallas Home

polished marble Dallas, Texas 75230

Because marble is a natural stone, many homeowners believe that it does not need maintenance or special care. This is simply not true, because as a softer stone, marble runs the risk of etching, scratches, and loss of luster and shine in well-used areas of your home, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Acidic spills can also be an issue.

To truly restore your marble to its original lustrous condition, you need a marble polishing and cleaning expert, such as Heaven Sent Floor Care of Dallas.

 

Marble Polishing and Cleaning Do’s

To protect your home’s marble, there are some things you should do:

  • Blot up spills immediately
  • Clean using soft cloths and cleaners specially formulated for marble
  • Dust and mop tile floors regularly
  • Deploy coasters to protect marble from acidic drinks
  • Use cutting boards on marble kitchen countertops
  • Use doormats, runners and rugs to protect marble floors
  • Put bathroom toiletry products on trays, not on the marble directly
  • Marble Polishing and Cleaning Dont’s

Marble no-no’s include:    

  • Using generic, vinegar, ammonia, orange and lemon house cleaners (too harsh!)
  • Or bathroom tub, tile and grout cleaners, for the same reason
  • Standing, sitting or parading on top of marble countertops (could cause cracks)
  • Using kitchen knives or general work tools directly on the marble surface (scratch and gouges alert)
  • Dropping heavy objects on the marble surface (leaving stun marks that can’t be repaired)

 

Professional Marble Attention

If you hire a marble polishing and cleaning professional service, such as Heaven Sent Floor Care of Dallas, they will use techniques and machinery to get the job done with the highest caliber results. For example, for marble floor polishing restoration stain repair, the cleaning crew might employ diamond floor pads to grind down the surface of the marble, exposing a fresh layer of stone and finally achieving a mirror like finish.

The process might start by honing with 220 and 400 grit diamond pads, removing etching and giving the marble a uniform appearance. Then marble polishing would be done with diamond grits going up to 1800, before final polishing is done with a finer grit 3000, imparting a mirror-like shine.

As a matter of course, our marble polishing crew will seal the polished marble floor with a penetrating sealant to prevent water absorption. A top-quality marble sealer should be applied at least once annually to your marble floors and other marble surfaces.
