tumbled marble with scuff marks

I just had tumbled marble installed on my bathroom floor. However the workers that finished the bathroom out left black scuff marks on the floor. It is tumbled marble ,color noce and has been sealed multiple times.

 

Dear Lisa:

Since you mention the color Noce, I must assume that your tumbled marble is in fact tumbled travertine.

Now, why on earth was that stone sealed multiple times is beyond my comprehension. But what do I know about “religion”?... J

If it were my floor I would have made sure that all the natural holes in the stone tiles were properly filled, and then, maybe, I would have applied (one time only) a good quality stone color-enhancer like MB-6.

As for the scuff marks, you can try to remove them by using a scouring powder like Comet with a damp rag and lots of elbow-grease.

After that, I'd dare to say that it would be wise getting some “secular” stone intelligence that delivers the goods instead of some misunderstood illusion.

The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
