About Marble
What exactly is marble? Usually white or variegated in color, marble is really limestone that has been subjected to more heat and pressure. Throughout history, marble has been used to construct many wondrous works of art and architecture, including Michelangelo’s statue of David and the Taj Mahal.
Marble is commonly confused with granite. While both materials are natural stone taken from quarries, the components that make them up are different. Marble is a softer stone with pores that can absorb liquid. This is a downside that often leads to something called “etching.” Etching happens when you see dulled spots in the marble that are rough or pitted to the touch. Dullness results from acidic liquids or abrasive cleaning solutions.
Also, if you don’t maintain the marble in your kitchen or bathroom, that glorious shine will be lost faster than if you had routine cleanings and polishing scheduled.
The Maintenance Myth
“Wait, what do you mean marble has to be maintained?” you ask. “Isn’t it maintenance-free like granite?”
This is a myth that continues to confuse homeowners. Marble is porous, and that means you need to perform some upkeep to ensure the polished surface stays bright and that nothing is eating away at the stone’s surface.
Hiring a professional polishing service for the marble in your home is one step towards preventing damage that requires more extensive—and costly—repairs. If you would like to learn some simple marble cleaning and care tips to extend the life of your counters and floors, let us know!
Cleaning and Polishing Marble
The Marble Guys use cleaning and restoration methods that are sure to make you and your family say “wow!” when you see the end result. Our equipment is state-of-the-art, and our team is always focused on safety, cleanliness, and courtesy.
Additionally, our highly trained and experienced technicians knows how to care of marble and all other kinds of stone. Our polishing process begins with a deep cleaning to get rid of the grit that is bound to build up over the months and years. We use cleaners approved for marble—nothing acidic or abrasive. This helps lift stains and discolorations away from the stone.
Then, in order to bring back the marble’s shine and smooth surface, we start honing the marble with a rotary floor machine. Once the scratches and etching has been buffed out, we begin polishing and buffing the marble. Buffing is also called crystallization, because it returns the mirror-like quality to the stone.
Lastly, we seal the marble surface to keep water, oils, and other corrosive liquids from seeping into the pores of the material. The industrial-strength sealants we use will also preserve the polished finish.
If your marble floors, countertops, or vanities have been damaged, talk to us about getting repairs done during the polishing service. The Marble Guys have an array of solutions for things like cracking, chips, lippage, and stains. We’ll get your marble looking new again—guaranteed.
