Marble Maintenance
Marble cleaning should be part of virtually everyone’s yearly maintenance program. Undoubtedly you want to be certain you are hiring a marble cleaning company that actually knows what they are doing. More specifically, while many companies may appear to have a good reputation the Technician who actually performs the service may not have the same level of experience that the company itself claims to possess. Buyers beware!
The most common finish for marble is polished (shiny). Your professional marble cleaning company should be able to successfully identify which type of marble that you have and its vulnerabilities to different solutions and compounds. Its color, durability, porosity, and density will vary from quarry to quarry. As a side note the highest grade of marble comes from Italy. A “one-size-fits-all’ mentality is a recipe for disaster when cleaning, sealing, and restoring marble. When handled correctly marble cleaning and marble sealing can help maintain your marble tile last for decades in your home or office.
Two of The Biggest Marble Cleaning Mistakes We See
Cleaning marble requires special tools, chemicals, sealers, and protectants to prevent scratching, etching, and permanent staining. Note: Staining is rare on marble. Most often, people will be convinced their marble is stained, when in reality the marble is etched.
If your professional marble cleaning company DOES NOT have the right tools, chemicals, and expertise he could cause some fairly significant damage that will require a fairly significant investment in marble restoration services.
Choosing the wrong marble cleaning company can create some costly marble repairs for you. Case in point:
CAUTION: Never clean marble with cleaning products containing lemon, bleach, vinegar, or any other type of acidic product. Also never use scouring creams or powders. These types of products will etch or scratch marble floors and cause costly marble restoration services to your budget. Also NEVER clean with a high alkaline cleaner as they will break down the sealer leaving your floors vulnerable to water stains, etch marks, and other stains. We also NEVER recommend using OxiClean or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as a cleaner on any type of natural stone. OxiClean and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser have many beneficial uses but using it to clean your marble is NOT one of them. All our clients receive a comprehensive Stone Care Guide that addresses these issues and the proper marble cleaning products to use.
The second biggest mistake we see people make is that either the home owner or their ‘professional marble cleaner’ will use a generic sealer from the local hardware store and now the floor has a sticky residue or streak marks from the wrong marble sealer being applied. Marble is not a highly porous stone, and because the porosity will vary based on the type of marble it is, you will need a sealer that correctly matches the type of stone you have. Our Stone Care Guide provides specific instructions for the care and maintenance of your marble and other natural stone.
In many instances, when cleaning marble floor tiles that are even moderately soiled the process may uncover surface scratches, small holes, and even hairline cracks that are disguised from the soiling. Similarly, the marble maintenance cleaning may dislodge grout that is not stable. Our marble repair or marble honing process will adequately address most of those issues.
