Keep Your Marble Floors Looking Great Like New For Decades


It is a common notion that marble flooring is pretty easy to maintain as it is made of strong natural stone quarried from the mountain ranges. But the real thing is that even though marble has a strong surface and is highly resistant, it needs regular maintenance that includes cleaning, sealing and polishing. It can be maintained to look as new for six months to one year by protecting against moisture and harmful spills.  

Marble is wear resistant, but the fact that it is a porous stone like our skin makes it vulnerable too. These tiny pores provide good room for the dirt and grime to settle on it. These pores retain the greasy materials and spreads odour also. The item spilled on the floor such as wine can seriously stain the marble floor. Professional stone cleaning is the best way to remove these stains. The Marble Man is the leading stone polishing, sealing and repairing specialist in Australia which has been doing the marble and stone restoration work for over 20 years. The stone restoration team offers marble and other natural stone maintenance services such as stone bench top maintenance, stone repair, natural stone restoration etc. at several places in the QLD & NSW region.
   
When the marble floors are initially installed, they should be treated with good quality surface sealer along with the surface finishing work. The surface finishing and sealing products will fill the pores of the floor, creating a layer of protection. According to the location of the floor, surface sealing and finishing treatment has to be carried out every six to twelve months.

Managing the stains on marble: As marble is an alkaline material, an acidic substance spills on the untreated marble surface can cause a chemical reaction leading to discoloration of the marble permanently. Fruit juices, wine, sodas, vinegar based- liquids, soaps and cleaning products are the materials which can stain the marble. Spills should be wiped off immediately with clean wet cloth or sponge. Applying sealants regularly can safe guard the marble surface, but regular maintenance is very much essential to keep it stain free and looking new.

People used to mix vinegar with water to clean the marble, but actually it damages the surface. Glass cleaner cannot be used as these products are acidic that may cause etching and dullness to the marble surface.

As marble is a hard substance, it is considered as a damage resistant floor. But actually marble is a quite soft material that can get damaged due to breakage, cracks and get chipped. Pads under the furniture legs can prevent scratch and damage to the floor. It is advisable not to pull or drag any material across the marble. Stains and gritty dirt are to be immediately removed. Cleaning, polishing and sealing should be carried out regularly. Marble floor can be maintained easily as long as it is done with right products.

You can keep your marble floors looking great like new for decades by scheduling its maintenance with quality stone restoration professionals like The Marble man. Their team will provide the best with 5 star service and effective solutions for stone bench tops maintenance, stone maintenance, stone repair, natural stone restoration etc.  

For small areas of marble floor cleaning, always use non acidic polishes, sealants and cleaners. Do not wait until the wear and tear get sets with the floor. Maintenance will then become costlier as the surface will turn uneven and hard to clean. As the proverb says ‘A stitch in time saves nine,’ do maintain the marble floors regularly.

Colleen Sutherland reviewed The Marble Man  5 star
Prompt. Reliability. Professional. Friendly. I cannot recommend The Marble Man enough. I didn't realise how dull my stone bench tops had become. The difference was remarkable. So I got them back to clean both showers. I've had other professional tile cleaners in but they did not compare to the super clean shower recesses I have today. I'm obsessed with clean surfaces and these guys delivered in every way. Thank you so much. I am truly grateful.

The Marble Man Thanks a lot, Colleen Sutherland for taking the pain to write about the stone restoration services extended to you by The Marble Man stone restorers. We're honoured to hear such sincere words. Have a great day :) (y)
