Advice for DIY Marble Polishing

When it comes to polishing marble surfaces, you need to know what signs to look out for that tell you when it’s time to have your marble polished. Marble is a sensitive material, especially when it comes to anything acidic. If it has sustained damage to the protective seal, you’ll want it to be polished as soon as possible. If the marble appears more dull or dirty in some areas, or the shine seems to be gone and it won’t go back to normal by simply wiping with a damp cloth, the protective seal may be damaged. If the seal isn’t replaced soon, the exposed marble could easily be damaged even more. Experts say you should have your marble sealed every two to three years, though the best maintained marble surfaces could hold out for four or five years.
