Removal of marble stains |
Article Number: 1416 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Fri, May 9, 2008 at 12:00 AM |
I have a white marble flooring at my home. By mistake, acid fell on the floor which made that part of floor rough . Day by day that stain is becoming black due to dust. How can I remove that stain? Does it go away with polishing? Please advice
Dear Hyma:
Indeed, the discoloration will go away with polishing. It's your only sensible option, and you will need a professional to do that for you, since you're reporting that you stone was badly etched (rough to the touch).
Now, you'd better watch out! I consider stone refinishing as the very pinnacle of all the activities related to stone from a professional point of view. Unfortunately, there are a lot of quacks on the loose out there! You get one of those, and you may even have to kiss your stone bye-bye!
How could you tell a champ from a chomp? Could you trust the recommendation of your local stone distributor, or contractor, or your interior decorator? Hardly!
We have available a very comprehensive article on how to select a bona fide stone restoration contractor, which will give you all the intelligence you need to make a competent choice. It does carry a small price tag, and you can order it by logging on the Educational Literature section 0f our website at:
http://www.mbstone.com/literature/literature.htm. It's available in pay-per-download format and I consider it a cheap “insurance premium” to pay when there are thousands of $ involved! Not to mention the little and much needed support you'd be giving to the cause – YOUR cause, since every single penny of the cost of the article will be used to support it.
Also, will you please read and sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm? By spreading the word about this valuable site among your friend & family and the stone trades' people you've been dealing with you will be rendering everybody a valuable service!

Thank you.
Ciao and good luck,
