The Marble Man is a leading service provider for the maintenance of marble and other natural stone surfaces in your home, office, or commercial building. Your stone tiles need special care and regular maintenance to preserve its beauty for years to come.
If you have installed beautiful marble or natural stone tiles as flooring or for utility structures at home, you need to take a little extra care to maintain the natural elegance of these stones.
Marble and other stone surfaces are porous and require sealing to prevent staining. Staining occurs when liquid or food containing acid is spilled on the stone surface. The dull mark or stain could have affected a single tile or spread in to several adjacent tiles. Knowing the type of stain (organic, oil-based, etc.) will help identify the proper stain removal technique needed.
If you happened to spill any fruit juices, carbonated beverages, wine and even tea on the marble surface, gently rub the marble with a cloth piece dipped in a solution of hydrogen peroxide mixed with ammonia. If the stone surface is already sealed by a professional sealing service provider such as The Marble Man, be rest assured that it won’t get stained!
When you use vinegar or cleaning detergents which contain acid, it can also cause etch marks and stains on marble surfaces. Marble is delicate and should only be cleaned with PH neutral, gentle cleaners. It is advisable not to use locally available cheap quality cleaner which may result permanent loss of shining. At The Marble Man, we use several different sealers to protect your marble or stone floors, benchtops and bathrooms.
Natural stone is generally classified into two categories according to its composition; they are siliceous stone and calcareous stone. Knowing the difference is critical when selecting a suitable cleaning product. Consult with a stone restoration specialist to help identify whether your stone is siliceous or calcareous.
