Common Marble Problems

Marble is a calcium-based stone, which makes it softer and more reactive than most tile:

  • Etching. Wine, citrus, coffee, vinegar, and acidic cleaners leave dull marks within minutes.
  • Water rings and stains. Unsealed marble absorbs liquids, and white marble shows it most.
  • Scratches. Grit tracked indoors scratches marble floors over time.
  • Dirty grout. Thin grout lines on marble floors and showers darken quickly.
  • Yellowing. Old wax or the wrong sealer can turn white marble yellow.
  • Lost polish. Traffic paths and kitchen counters lose their shine first.

Our Marble Care Process

  1. Inspection. We check the type and finish of the marble and separate stains from etching, because they need different treatments.
  2. Preparation. We protect walls, cabinets, and nearby surfaces. Our technicians can move small, light furniture. We don’t move heavy or fragile items, so please clear those before we arrive.
  3. Stone-safe cleaning. We clean the marble and grout with products made for marble. Nothing acidic touches the stone.
  4. Stain treatment. We treat absorbed stains and lighten them where possible.
  5. Honing and polishing, if needed. Etching and scratches are removed with honing, and the shine is brought back with polishing.
  6. Sealing. We seal the marble to help it resist stains. If we seal, allow 24 to 48 hours for the sealer to cure before normal use and mopping.

Aftercare for Marble

  • Let the sealer cure. Allow 24 to 48 hours before normal use and mopping.
  • Only use pH-neutral stone cleaner. Vinegar, lemon, bleach, and most bathroom cleaners etch marble.
  • Use coasters and trays. Especially under drinks, perfume, and toiletries.
  • Dust mop daily in busy areas. Fine grit is marble’s biggest enemy.

Sealing helps with stains but doesn’t prevent etching, so quick cleanup still matters. Plan on resealing about every 2 years.

A stain is something absorbed into the stone, usually darker. An etch is a dull spot where acid has eaten into the surface. Stains are treated; etching is honed and polished out.

No. Sealing helps marble resist stains, but acids can still etch the surface. Wiping spills quickly is the best protection.

Usually, yes. Honing removes etching and scratches, and polishing brings back the shine.

Use a pH-neutral cleaner made for natural stone. Avoid vinegar, bleach, lemon, and general bathroom or kitchen sprays.

Yes. We remove soap scum and hard water deposits with stone-safe products and can seal the marble and grout afterward.
