When we decorate our homes and offices with
preciously beautiful natural stones such as marble, granite, or even
travertine, we tend to obsess over its maintenance, repair and restoration.
This is because nobody wants to take risks concerning the protection and
maintenance of natural stone, which is popular for its shine and vitality and
the classy flavour it adds to our abode.
Being such enthusiastic users of natural
stone, we are supposed to be very particular regarding stone maintenance and stone cleaning procedure and aware of various other facts related to such stones.
There is a popular notion that the shine on the marble counter tops and floor
tiles is achieved through application of certain chemical or polish, which is
not true. The shine on marble is not externally incorporated; it is an inherent
quality of the marble itself. However if the marble loses its vigour, its shine
can be brought back chemically. For this you can trust The Marble Man who
employs efficient techniques for marble floor restoration.
How to Get Rid of Dull Spots?
Often dull spots appear on stone bench tops
and floors. This is because the polished surface gets etched away with
continuous use or accidental spills of acidic materials. If etching is not
attended to in time, the marble bench top may be ruined forever. If the etching
seems to be mild, you can remove the spots with a marble polishing powder available
in the market. But, if the etching is deep, it’s time for you to seek
professional help.
Why Is It Necessary to Identify Stain on
Stone Surface?
Identification of stain is important for
various reasons. Firstly, if we proceed to clean or remove any particular stain
without identifying it, we might use chemicals that will possibly bear no
result and even hamper the stone surface badly. Moreover, before applying any
chemical remover, we should ensure that we are actually dealing with a stain. A
polished marble may become dull or discoloured when it comes in contact with
any acidic substance. This discoloration is not a stain but etch marks.
Chemicals used for removing stains will not work on etches.
Why Need Professional Natural Stone
Restoration?
Natural stone, when newly installed, have a
glossy finish that adds to the elegance of the room decor. However, with regular use,
this finish tends to lose its lustre and put on a dim and dull look. This
creates problem because, the reason why we use natural stone in the first place
does not then seem to hold any meaning at all.
