| Cleaning Marble Before Sealing | 03/07/2005 |
| Use care when cleaning marble. You don't want to use any cleaner that is acidic because it can etch the marble. Use hand dish soap (non citrus) and warm water. Marble which has become dull, can be livened up by using a commercial marble cleaner and polish. Buy from a company that sells marble. Putty powder, (tin oxide) can be used to polish dulled or etched surfaces, rubbing on with a damp cloth, folding and refolding to clean damp areas, and preferably using an electric polisher for buffing. However it's very hard to find. Severely damaged surfaces, scratched or etched, can be polished by a business making and selling tombstones or other marble products. I'm not sure what you are planning to seal it with but it would be best to talk to someone who deals with marble countertops or floors to make sure what you do does no harm and reseals it properly. | |
