The Benifits Of Professional Marble & Travertine Polishing

Marble is a beautiful but sensitive material used to make all kinds of things like countertops, floors, columns, vanities and much more. If you have marble in your home, you probably want to take the very best care of it that you can. But how should you go about maintaining your marble? With years of experience in marble care under our belt, The Steam Team is here to tell you!

Choosing Professional Polishing

Caring for the marble in your home may prove to be a bit tricky. That’s because marble surfaces tend to be sensitive to anything acidic, including foods like citrus or sodas, as well as many common store-bought cleaning products and DIY cleaning solutions. Marble is also more porous, meaning it can scratch and get lasting marks easier than many other surfaces. For these reasons, we suggest professional marble polishing with only verified products meant specifically for marble. Putting the job in the hands of professionals also means you’ll get the best possible polish without the risks of scratching or damaging the marble, which might occur if you attempt the job yourself. Now that you know you should have your marble surfaces professionally polished, you just have to choose the right company for the service. That’s where we come in.

Marble Polishing 101: What You Should and Shouldn't Do

Marble is a naturally beautiful material that can be used for a variety of surfaces around any home or business. But it’s important to remember that marble can also be a very sensitive substance, and must be properly maintained in order to ensure that it lasts as long as you need it to. Follow these tips form The Steam Team to keep your marble in pristine condition.

What Not To Do

Marble is very sensitive to anything acidic. Using any generic household cleaners will likely etch or damage the marble or degrade the sealant, so make sure never to use these cleaners on marble. Using common DIY items like vinegar, ammonia, lemon or orange cleaners will also be too acidic and cause damage to your marble. For daily cleaning, it’s better to just use a sponge with hot water.

Proper Marble Care

As stated before, proper day-to-day marble cleaning should be done with a sponge with hot water, and dried with a soft cloth. It’s also important with marble to clean up spills immediately so that they don’t cause any lasting damage to the surface. With a marble countertop, use cutting boards, coasters and trivets as often as you can to avoid letting the marble come into contact with anything damaging. Similarly, for marble floors use door mats, runners and rugs as often as you can to protect the material. For marble polishing, only use polish specifically designed for marble surfaces.
