Marble Polishing Palm Beach: What You Need To Know?

But first, let us consider the following information about marbles:

Marble is usually used in the construction of sculptures and buildings because it is a very sturdy and durable material. Its natural durability probably comes from the many minerals that make it up such as dolomite and calcite. Marbles form naturally, this is probably why marble tiles and marble slabs are highly valued.

Marbles are most often associated with luxury that when you first think of this type of stone, what comes to your mind are bank and hotel countertops or bathrooms.

Although marble tiles and slabs are very durable, just like any other stone minerals, they are very porous. This means that they have tiny spaces or spores that readily absorb air, water or any other liquids. The porous property of marble makes it very susceptible to staining.

The sealer applied to marbles will become thin and will peel off after some time and the surface will then again become porous which will then allow substances like oil, coffee, tea or catsup to seep through the marble and leave a very ugly stain on it. When this happens, you should not use acid-based materials and other harsh chemicals to clean the surface as this would just damage it even further.

Using materials to scrape the surface is not advisable either as this will just leave visible scratches on your marble tiles. Also, remember that abrasive cleaners can totally remove the sealer thus making the marble even more susceptible to stains, molds and even bacteria.

Mold Problem in Marble Surfaces

When molds start to grow in marble surfaces, the marble will become discolored and if no immediate action is taken, the stain can stick on the marble surface and become permanent. Also, bacteria can proliferate quickly if they seep through the surface. This is probably one of the reasons why you still smell foul odors from your marble countertops or floor even after cleaning and wiping the surface. The foul smell is coming from the bacteria that had penetrated the inner layer of the marble.

Fading of Marble Surfaces

One of the many damages that can be caused by improper DIY cleaning and polishing is the fading of the color of the marble. This is why it is never recommended that you use harsh chemicals or strong detergents when doing the cleaning yourself.
