Our Austin Marble Polishing Process

When our Austin technicians first arrive at your home or business, they’ll begin the process by inspecting your marble surface to determine the best course of action and which products to use. Then they’ll separate the marble from any other surfaces using tape. When the marble is separated they’ll begin to gently clean it with product and a soft rag. Then a poultice may be used to eliminate stains from the marble. Then the polishing will begin as our technicians use low-speed polishers in circular motions and whichever specific polish product they’ve chosen, until the entire surface has been polished. Finally, a sealant will be applied to keep the marble protected. When the sealant dries, your marble surface will look better than ever.

Don't Make These Mistakes With Your Marble Surfaces

Commercial Lobby Marble Floor Cleaning

We know homeowners love their marble countertops, floors, vanities, columns or other marble surfaces. For this reason, there’s an ongoing search for many homeowners to find the best methods and products to care for their marble. If you have marble in your home and have been on this search yourself, we might have exactly what you’re looking for!

Avoid Most DIY Methods

Far too many homeowners make the mistake of trying to clean their own marble surfaces with DIY approaches, using the wrong methods or products that end up doing more damage than good. That’s because marble is a porous and sensitive surface, especially to acidic products, like many common house cleaners. Marble is also softer than most stone, making it more susceptible to scratching and dulling if scrubbed too hard or cleaned with the wrong material.

Since most generic cleaners, DIY approaches and common cleaning practices might be bad for your marble, it’s always better to leave intensive cleaning in the hands of a professional or team of trained technicians. That’s where we come in.

The Best Way to Care for Your Marble Flooring

We’ve recently blogged about polishing your marble flooring- marble is an increasingly popular flooring option, and can bring a magnificent natural beauty to your home. However, marble is quite a delicate material that can easily scratch or stain, and to polish it the right way you’ll need to use great care and the proper materials.

Common Mistakes

Cleaning marble isn't quite as simple as it is with other flooring options, so before we get into our suggestions, you need to know what NOT to do with your marble to ensure that it won’t break.

Spills can certainly do damage to your marble floors, but mopping them up with a soaked mop can do even more damage. Be sure to only use a slightly damp mop for spills on a marble surface.

Marble is especially sensitive to acidic cleaners. For this reason, you should only clean marble with cleaners specifically designed for marble floors. Other store-bought products or DIY methods like vinegar, lemon, or ammonia could cause irreversible damage to your floors.

Never leave or drag heavy furnitures or sharp objects on a marble floor, as they can easily cause damage.

How It’s Done

To prepare for polishing your marble, a polishing compound specifically designed for your kind of marble (cultured or uncultured), a low-speed polisher and a marble sealant is used. Once the surface is perfectly clean, the compound is applied in small sections. It can be a tedious job since it needs to be done with expert care throughout- you don’t want to leave any room for damage to the marble!
