Marble Floor Benefits and Marble Floor Care

Marble Floor Benefits and Marble Floor Care

Marble floors are easily one of the most beautiful stones you can have in your home, office or restaurant.  Aside from its obvious beauty, the benefits and advantages can range from cleaning to lifespan.  Below are some advantages to using marble in your home, office or commercial space.

Ease of Cleaning - While marble can be easy to clean, larger jobs may require a marble cleaning company.  For those smaller jobs, usually only a couple square feet, marble cleaning can be easy with proper maintenance and warm water.  Avoid the use of harsh chemicals and you'll ensure a lasting marble for many years.

Overall Maintenance and Repair - While installing your new marble floors may cost more than other floors like wood and laminate, the lifespan of marble is that much greater than its competition.  Since marble is relatively easy to clean and maintain, it lasts for years, sometimes double or even triple the life span of wood or laminate.  With proper maintenance and cleaning, marble should turn out to be a great investment.  Even with larger cleaning jobs, when a marble cleaning company is needed, the end results are nothing short of spectacular.

How to Easily Clean Marble Counters and Small Marble Areas

Easy Cleaning Techniques for Marble Counter Tops 

Marble is a stone that is always in need of cleaning and maintenance.  When at it's best, marble shines more than any other stone, hence its popularity.  However, when marble loses its shine it can look dull and be unimpressive.  It's important to stay up to date with the latest techniques used to clean marble to enable it to shine as much as possible.  Classic Marble Restoration is a South Florida marble restoration company that restores all types of stones.  A full list of stones they restore can be found here.

To start, make sure you test a piece of the marble.  While most marbles will have a positive reaction to the cleaning, some methods may not work for your specific marble.

Wipe the marble clean.  Best use would be a hand broom or light cloth.
Next, use warm water and a fresh cloth and gently clean.
Using harsh cleaning products such as turpentine, paint thinners and vinegar may not always have a positive reaction on your marble.  As we mentioned above, test a small area to ensure you do no damage to your marble.

The above steps are great for polishing marble counters in small kitchens and baths, but for larger jobs, it may require specific equipment and products.  For these larger jobs, it's always a good idea to contact your local marble restoration company.

Steps for DIY Marble Restoration

We often get asked how to do marble restoration on small projects and small areas.  We always recommend hiring experts for larger jobs and areas, but for our DIY crowd out there, here are some basics steps to marble restoration.

Marble Honing:  This is the process of smoothing out your marble.  Honing will also cut away any scratches or stains that have developed over time.  In a lot of cases, a good honing job can leave your marble looking great without moving on to any further steps.

Classic Marble Restoration can handle those larger jobs.

Polishing you Marble:  A nice polish will give your stone that shine that you're looking for.  Look for a semi shine or shining product with a good reputation to ensure no long term damage is done.

Be sure to use neutral cleaning products on marble at all times.  These products can be found at tile stores.  If you do not have access to a cleaning product, warm water can also do the trick.

As stated above, it's important to use the best products available and for larger projects, consult with a marble cleaning or marble restoration company that specializes in all stone products.

Limestone Restoration

Limestone And The Look of Elegance

We recently heard about a Limestone table top that was created for a famous singing star.

The tabletop was absolutely gorgeous and immensely huge. It seated 18 people and was perfect for all the entertaining she did.  But what happens when you're in need of limestone cleaning or limestone restoration?

The first time she had a dinner party, a guest spilled red wine on her new table.

Suffice it to say, rather than repair the newly stained table – the singer, had the garbage men – cart it away!

Moral to the story?  Protect your limestone or at the very least call in the expert limestone restoration team when needed!

How to Seal Granite

For our DIY homeowners, we have some little tricks that we've developed over the years to determine if your granite needs to be sealed or not.  Some types of granite will need sealing, while other may not.  By following the simple steps below you'll be able to determine if this is something that needs to be done.  If so, you'll need to determine if it's a small enough granite sealing job to do yourself or if you'll need to contact your local granite sealing company.

The paper towel trick:  Wet a white paper towl and leave on the granite counter or floors and wait aprox. 5 minutes.  If the water that has been soaking turns a darker shade, then it's safe to say that the granite needs to be sealed.

For smaller jobs, for let's say, a counter top.  Ensure the counter is wiped down and completely dry.  Apply a sealer to the counter using a spray bottle that does not soak one area more than another.

Once your have covered the entire surface, allow the sealer to stay for 25-30 minutes.  Applying another coat after this time and rub with a dry cloth.

After about 60-90 minutes, apply a second coating of the sealant.

Helpful advice:

• Be sure to start with a clean area.  Allow the surface to completely dry prior to applying the sealer.
• 
  
• If you are a DIY sealer, be sure to use a good quality granite sealer.  Using a lower grade sealer or low quality granite cleaning company may cause you to have to seal your granite 6 months from now.
• 
  
• If done properly and professionally, sealing should be done every 2-3 years.

For larger jobs and floor sealing, it's always a good idea to contact a marble restoration company or marble cleaning company.  Professionals will ensure that the job is completed in a timely manner as well as clean and neat.

How to Clean Granite

There's a common misconception that granite restoration and cleaning is almost impossible.  While marble restoration can be challenging, a true marble restoration company should be able to complete the job with ease and precision.

The key to avoiding having to call a granite restoration company is proper caring.  Proper cleaing and care will not only extend the life of your stone, but give it a nice glow.

Proper cleaning of your granite will leave it with a nice shine

Since granite is much different than marble, the care that it entails is also different.  Since granite is a much harder stone, the products used will also differ.

The best cleaning products for your granite are pH neutral.  This means that it is not overly acidic and does not contain harsh chemical or abasives.  Ensuring the quality of your granite cleaning product can be tricky and picking the wrong product, with low quality can actually damage the stone.  If you're in doubt, it's always a good idea to call your local stone restoration or granite cleaning company to inspect the stone and give you a quote.  Most granite restoration companies have the proper equipment and experience, which SHOULD keep the cost down.

Searching locally for Miami marble restoration brings up a bunch of results.  So make sure you ensure the company is fully licensed and experienced with all types of stone.

How to Clean Grout

How to Clean Grout: A Few Simple Steps

For all of you DIYers, cleaning your grout can be something that easily accomplished on a Saturday morning.  For smaller jobs like in bathrooms and small kitchens areas, a simple mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water can easily clean that grout that's become dirty.  This mixture is a simple way to do the job yourself.  But of course, when all else fails, there's always your local tile restoration company.

Simply combine a half of a cup of hydrogen peroxide and one cup of water and mix inside a spray bottle.  Total cost?  Maybe $1.50.

After you've mixed your solution, spray on the moldy areas of your tile grout.  Allow it to set and take a small toothbrush or other brush and scrup away.  You should be able to see the difference right away.  Using the mixture on a regular basis will help prevent mold from building up in the future.

Sometimes, the grout maybe stained a little worse than usual.  Hiring a grout cleaning company is something to look into if this in fact the case.  Grout cleaning companies can usually finish the job with a few hours, by way of their equipment and experience.  So if you're not looking to be on your hands and knees scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush, give your local tile restoration company a call and they'll be glad to give you a hand.

How to Care for your Marble

When you're looking to clean marble without the help of a marble restoration company, it's important to get one important fact out of the way.  Marble is not granite and vice versa.  Often the two are confused and considered to be one in the same, and since this happens often, homeowners make the mistake of cleaning the two stones with the same products.  This can often results in  damaging the stone or scuffing it in a way that may cause it to lose it's natural shine.  Using vinegar on your marble can cause serious issues.  While vinegar is a great cleanser for most surfaces around the house, stay away from using it on marble surfaces and floor.

For larger surfaces, consider an expert marble restoration company.

The best way to clean marble counters and floors is with a soft rag and some warm water.  Use this method as your daily cleaning method and you'll ensure a nice healthy look to your marble for years.

When cleaning marble floors, stick to non harsh methods like soft microfiber materials.  Combine with hot water if you have some scuffs or marks on the floor.

When you've completed your daily cleaning of your marble, it's time to get it polished.  For small areas, like a countertop or small floor area, simply buff with a chamois in small circles.  This is a relatively simple way to create a nice shine on your surface.  However, for larger areas and floors throughout your home, it's best to call an expert marble polishing company or marble restoration company.  These companies are outfitted with the tools and products that will give your home floor an impecable shine.

Marble Refinishing and Marble Protection

When living in South Florida, or Miami for that matter, it's important for your home to keep up its shine.  One particular way is to ensure your marble floor is gleaming.  Marble and granite restoration is a practice that can either be satisfying for a homeowner, or an outright headache.  Smaller jobs aren't that hard to accomplish, while the bigger jobs should be handled by a pro.  Basic wear and tear on your marble floor can leave it looking dull and without luster.  Simple cleaning and maintenence steps will ensure the life of your marble floor and keep it shining in that South Florida sun.

Marble restoration brings new life to this Miami Lobby

It's important that you realzie what and what can't be used to clean marble or during tile restoration.  Marble should be protected from all types of harsh products and chemicals.  Everyday items that can be found in the kitchen, like lemon juice and other acidic fruits and liquids can cause havvoc on your tile or marble.  While the stains don't have to be permanent, it's always a good idea to watch out for even minor spills.  In the event of a minor spill on your marble, use a gentle stone cleaner and gently whipe away the spill.  Not allowing the liquid time to set in will help in the recovery process.

An extra step to protecting your marble or tile is to properly seal it.  There are plenty of marble refinishing companies and marble restoration companies that can assist in the larger jobs.

How to Clean Tile and Grout

If your home or office space has tile floors, then you know how difficult it can be to clean them in an easy, effective manner, that won't harm yourself or your family.  Here's an easy, effective way to clean tile and grout.

For those smaller, DIY jobs, I would highly suggest some Oxygen bleach and good old elbow grease.  Oxygen bleach is non toxic and is color safe. Because of its non toxic nature it won't produce harmful fumes that can cause blurry vision, breathing issues and won't stain clothing and fabrics.  This is meant for small, DIY jobs, that may save you some time.  For larger or more difficult stains, it's best to contact your local stone restoration or marble restoration company.

To get things going, just combine some powdered oxygen bleach with water and mix until disolved.  Next, pour the mixture over your tile to ensure it's covering the grout lines as well.  Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.  To clean grout effectively, let stand and repeat if necessary.

After the time has past, lightly scrub the tiles as you normally would.  If your tiles and grout are still looking a little dingy, it's best to call a profession tiling cleaning company.  Most professional tile and stone restoration companies will make your floors look like new AND save you additional time rescrubbing your floors.

General Cleaning and Care for Natural Stone

ESSENTIAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR NATURAL STONE SURFACES


Cleaning Procedures & Recommendations

General Cleaning - Clean stone surfaces with a neutral cleaner designated safe for natural
stone. Use a clean mop on floors and a soft cloth for other surfaces for best results. Don't use
more than the recommended amount of any cleaning product. Too much may leave a film,
causing streaks. Change rinse water frequently. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar
or other acids on marble, travertine or limestone as these can etch the surface of the stone. Do
not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the
surface.

Floor Surfaces - (For newly installed/restored floors, refer to our Stone Care Tips for important
instructions.) Dust mop interior floors frequently using a clean non-treated dry dust mop. Sand,
dirt and grit do the most damage to natural stone surfaces due to their abrasiveness. Mats or
area rugs inside and outside an entrance will help to minimize the sand, dirt and grit that can
scratch a stone floor. Be sure that the underside of the mat or rug is a non-slip surface. Do not
use vacuum cleaners that are worn, the metal or plastic attachments may scratch the surface.

Bath and Other Wet Areas - in the bath/shower or other wet areas, using a squeegee after each
use can minimize soap scum.

Counter/Vanity Top Surfaces - Clean your countertops daily with a soft cloth or paper towel and
a residue free pH neutral cleaner designated safe for natural stone. Ask an expert at Classic
Marble Restoration, Inc. for product questions pertaining to their safety and usage with natural
stone.
