Cleaning soap scum off of Tumbled Marble

What should I use to clean the tumbled marble in the shower? It is covered with soap scum in some areas. (Everything I have found addresses only "shiny" marble finishes, this is dull tumbled marble) Thank you!
 

Dear Lorena:

To remove soap scum from any surface you need an alkaline cleaner with chelates in its formula, and to clean the same soap scum from a natural stone surface you need an alkaline cleaner with chelates in its formula that's rated “for natural stone”, like MB-3. It doesn't really matter if the surface of the stone is polished or dull: a cleaning product inside a bottle is not smart enough to know the difference!... J

It will just do its job of removing the soap scum without effecting the stone, period.

 

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?

Ciao and good luck,
