I clean houses and there's some marble tile on the floor in a bathroom that has alot of water spots on it. How do I removed them? Also on a faux marble vanity there are large water rings too. They are only about two years old.

 

Dear Kim:

 

“ there's some marble tile on the floor in a bathroom that has a lot of water spots on it. How do I remove them? ”

 

You don't.

All the “water stains” you reporting about are marks of corrosions (etchings) made by various acidic or other pH active liquids that became in contact with the surface of the stone, i.e.: drinks, vinegar, salad dressing, lemon juice, tomato sauce, orange juice, some generic cleaning product and so on through a long list. In other words, they are surface damages. There's no product on the marketplace – sealer or what-have-you – that could prevent such damages from happening. Your customer will need the services of a bona fide stone restoration contractor, who will have to hone and re-finish the damaged tiles.

As for the “faux marble” I have no idea what to do with it.
