cleaning marble from white deposit |
Article Number: 801 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Mon, Nov 19, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
My mom's maids messed up her marble. There is a white film in her shower I was wondering how the heck to get it out? Please help
Dear Jason:
Trust me: there's no film on the walls of your mom's marble shower stall. Whatever was used to “clean” it with, etched the surface of the stone and it may appear like a whitish film.
How to get it out?
It's out already: some of the marble came out, that is!

Your only option is to hire a bona fide stone restoration contractor who will lightly grind (hone) and 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,
