It is impossible to match the beauty, richness and depth of color in marble tiles. These can be used in flooring, in bathroom design as well as on countertops and backsplashes in the kitchen. To keep marble looking in top condition routine marble polishing, cleaning, and sealing is an important consideration to be made.
While this may seem like a lot of work, it is no more than vacuuming carpets on a daily basis or waxing and sanding hardwood floors. When it comes to your routine cleaning, sealing and marble polishing you can hire a professional company that will handle it all.
Porous Nature
Many people assume that because marble is a stone that it is naturally non-porous and won’t absorb liquids on the surface. This is only true if the marble is sealed. Even with sealing you have to be cautious about strong acids such as vinegar, fruit juices and tomato based products, or using anything but neutral pH cleaners getting on the floor or tiles.
However, unlike other types of materials, stains, scratches or even chips in marble can be easily repaired during marble polishing processes. This means you can restore your marble tile to almost new condition with each polishing service.
When to Call Professionals
It is important to consider the finish on your marble. While marble polishing can be used on any finish, there is a specific shiny, reflective type of marble called polished marble. There is also a honed marble finish, which is more satin-like and not at all reflective.
Often marble floors have a honed finish, which will reduce the requirement for marble polishing. With highly polished floors scratches and dull areas will be more evident, and will also require more frequent polishing to keep up the beautiful shine. While you can spot treat areas that have been etched or stained, larger surfaces should be professionally polished to create a uniform surface look.
When you notice a dulling or discoloration of the surface of your flooring or grout, it is a good time to call in professionals for marble polishing services. This is largely a factor of how much the floor gets used and the type of traffic in the home.
Routine dry mopping and cleaning using only approved, neutral cleaners can also extend the life of the floor. Keep in mind a top marble polishing can also assist with grout cleaning as well, which is often more problematic than dealing with the marble tile.
