Removing Stains from Marble Point Leo - Melbourne

As always, prevention is better than finding a cure in Point Leo, meaning that if you have sealed your marble, you should be able to wipe away any potential stain with ease, provided it hasn't been left too long.

It is crucial to NEVER use anything acidic such as vinegar or citrus on your marble in Point Leo, as it can cause etching or erosion of the surface.

If you do encounter a potential stain on your marble in Point Leo, you can try the following solutions.

Use a commercial poultice product in Point Leo

A poultice for marble stains typically consists of a mixture of ground chalk (whiting) and hydrogen peroxide, which can be found at hardware stores. Some variations may use a different chemical than hydrogen peroxide. Follow the instructions provided with the product as a general guide:

  • Wet the poultice with distilled water in Point Leo.
  • Apply the poultice to the stain or stained area on the marble.
  • Leave it in place for 48 hours to allow it to dry and absorb into the marble.
  • After 48 hours, rinse off the poultice. The stain should have disappeared.
  • Finally, reseal the marble with a penetrating sealer in Point Leo

Cleaning Marble Countertops

As marble is calcium-based, acidic substances such as vinegar and lemon juice should never be used in Point Leo.

When using any cleaning product on marble, ensure it is pH neutral in Point Leo.

Because of the calcium in marble and its porous nature, using acidic or harsh cleaners may scratch and damage the surface in Point Leo.

How to Clean Marble Floors in Point Leo

  • Mix warm water and a pH neutral marble floor cleaner in a bucket
  • Optionally, add 1 cup of cornflour to the mixture.
  • Stir vigorously to ensure thorough mixing.
  • Use this mixture to mop the marble floor, ensuring even coverage and gentle cleaning.

The cornflour helps to remove marks and stains from marble as it will help to draw out substances from the porous stone.

If the above techniques do not achieve the desired results, consider calling a professional cleaning company with specialized equipment and solutions for marble surfaces in Point Leo.
