Marble Chemical Cleaning or Scrubbing Service

We can clean and restore almost any of the natural stone surfaces, remove mold and dirt embedded in grout lines and surfaces as well as everyday dirt and grime from typical foot traffic. You can wonder come back to life and gleam as they did on their first appearance.

We carry out both manual and mechanized cleaning of stone. Before starting the cleaning process we evaluate the state of the surface, which allows us to assess the degree of contamination, identify the source of stains, as well as the presence of other defects on the stone. This procedure will allow us to select the necessary detergents in order to completely and qualitatively clean granite or marble, without damaging the surface.

Abrasive Cleaning

This method requires special skills and knowledge, most often it is used when other methods are ineffective. Due to the impact of diamonds and abrasive tools, it’s a sufficiently effective method of cleaning. To prevent even greater damage to the surface, it is better to entrust such work to specialists. Cleaning stone surfaces with abrasive pads will effectively clean heavily soiled floors from grease, and oily stains, and remove the traces of soot and other complex contaminants. This technology will also help to restore the surface of old badly worn floors.

Some tips for Do It Yourself

Often, traditional methods of cleaning are not always suitable for stone: industrial detergents and general cleaners can be suitable for ceramics, glass, cement, etc., surfaces but not for natural stone with special characteristics.

The most general and popular brand cleaners are too aggressive for use on marble. Standard household cleaners can etch, scratch, stain, or discolor the marble surface.

Acid-alkaline balance – a ratio of acid and alkaline in solution – is denoted by pH (power hydrogen), which shows how many hydrogen atoms are contained in a given solution.

Do NOT use:

Bleach, vinegar, ammonia, toilet bowl cleaners, oven cleaners, caustic soda, lime removers
Ajax, Lysol, Comet, Domestos, or other abrasive cleaners
Abrasive pads, sponges, and brushes, which can scratch
Any cleaners containing acid or alkali
Wax finishes.

DO use only products created for safe use on natural stone with a neutral pH7.

pH scale

For not-heavy soiled marble or for daily cleaning, you can use a gentle stone cleaner to clean the surface, but before the cleaning, all contaminated spills and dirt must be removed to protect from staining and etching polished finish.

Quality marble cleaners are not only effective cleaners, but they also protect sealers from degradation while cleaning.
