Marble Cleaning in NJ
Marble is a type of stone often used in furniture, decorative art and fine building work and comes in white or shades of beige. Marble is hard but is porous and can easily get stained and etched by some acids.
Marble cleaning is similar to concrete cleaning . Since marble can easily stain, you need to immediately wipe off spilled liquids and use coasters or mats to avoid ring marks.
To clean marble
• Use lukewarm water to regularly wash dirt off marble surfaces.
• Wipe the surface dry, preferably with a dampened chamois, so as not to leave streaks.
• At least once a year or when soiled, wash the surface with a mild hand dishwashing detergent with warm water solution,
• To protect the surface, apply a light colorless wax coat
• White marble should not be waxed as the color may become yellowish.
• Marble sealers can also be used to clean marble. Not only can it protect the marble from staining, it will also soften soil that can be easily wiped off using a damp cloth.
To remove marble stains
• Make a poultice out of an absorbent white material like a napkin, paper towel, blotter, or facial tissue.
• Dampened the material with the recommended chemical listed below that can remove the marble stain.
• Mix whiting with the chemical and make a soft paste, enough to cover the stain.
• Leave the poultice over the stain for at least an hour. Depending on depth of the stain and the age, the poultice can be left up to 48 hours.
• Put a plastic wrap on top of the poultice to keep it damp and hold it place using masking tape.
• Re-dampen the chemical periodically if needed.
• Mix a new batch of poultice if you need another application.
For Organic Stains from coffee, tea, softdrinks, or colors from paper, or textile. Soak the poultice material with a few drops of ammonia and 20% peroxide.
For Oil Stains including hand creams, butter or lotion.
• Spread whiting, cornstarch or any absorbent fine powder on the oil stain. Brush off the stain and reapply more powder. Leave the powder on the stain for 24 hours. Remove the stained powder by scrubbing it off with a hot, detergent solution and hard brush. Or you can wipe it off with a cloth dampened with ammonia. Rinse of the cleaning solution and wipe dry.
• If the suggested alkaline solutions do not take off the oil, try using a solvent. Dampen the poultice with amyl acetate, acetone or a dry cleaning fluid.
• Make sure you are in a well ventilated area with the windows opened to allow the fumes to move out. Do not use the acid solutions near a flame or sparks and do not leave the solvent on the stain too long.
For Rust Stains coming from metal objects like lamps, and other metal containers. Use rust stain removers available commercially. Do not leave the stain remover on the marble too long since it can etch the surface. Make sure to exactly follow the directions as given.
For Carbonated Beverages, acid fruit juices, and other acids that can etch or remove surface shine. Immediately wipe off the beverage or acid spill, and wipe the marble surface with a wet cloth. Polishing may be needed if the liquids etched the surface.
