House cleaner used some type of cleaner on marble counter tops. It has etched and discolored the marble. what should I buy to fix this. Thanks Patty
Dear Patty:
If your countertop is etched only in a few spots, you may have some hope with a good quality Marble Repair Kit.
But if the marble has been etched all over, then I can tell you right off the bat that the Marble Repair Kit will not be enough.
In such case,
your only option would be to hire a bona fide stone restoration contractor who will lightly grind (hone) and then re-polish your stone.
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.

Thank you.
Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
