Incorporating marble cleaning and marble polishing into the rest of your housework is a good way to prevent the build-up of everyday dust and light dirt. However, you may be starting to notice that, no matter how often you clean and polish your marble yourself, it never quite looks the way it did in the beginning.
With general daily living, rust, grout and other contaminants can seep deep into the small pours of the marble and leave your flooring exposed to staining. Without the correct know-how and the right products for the job, these stains can be near impossible to remove. In addition to this, using the wrong products or overly acidic products may actually end up exposing your marble flooring to the risk of more damage.
Aside from staining, you may find that, no matter how often you perform marble cleaning and marble polishing yourself, there seem to be some scratches that you cannot remove. These are known as etch marks. Marble is composed of calcium carbonate and soft stone, making it prone to scratching in certain circumstances such as the use of overly abrasive flooring products and general household foot traffic.
