how do you clean mildew from green marble shower wall tiles appears some are brown in color shower is 10 years old ..... help please stan
Dear Stan:
There's mildew and "mildew"...
Well, it is indeed all mildew all the time, but the reason why it's there makes a huge difference in the course of action to take.
Let me explain:
If it is mildew that sometimes appears in a wet environment like a shower stall and is forming from without, then a good specialty cleaning product like MB-9 will take care of that in no time.
Bu
t if the mildew is excessive and appears to be too stubborn to be cleaned effectively and a for a reasonable period of time, then it could be the consequence of the presence of water behind the stone tiles due to missing or damaged grout and/or caulk. In such case, you do understand that just cleaning it - assuming that's possible at all - will certainly not solve the problem.
From where I am I can only present possibilities, but it doesn't take an expert to monitor your grout lines and draw your own conclusions.
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:

Ciao and good luck,
Maurizio Bertoli
