Before you have your marble counters polished you should know a few things about your marble.

Why is your marble counter damaged?

Those little dots on your counter are called etches and they are caused by acid. Marble is a crystalline stone composed of calcium carbonate. The same chemical found in common antacids like Tums® and Rolaids®. What makes these antacids effective is their ability to react with acid in the stomach. This is not such a great thing on our marble counters and marble showers.

Etches appear to be drip marks or cup rings and no matter what you do, you can’t remove them without some sort of refinishing. Etches are sometimes called watermarks by clients. Etches look like dirty spots that cannot be removed. A common cause of etches on marble counters is juice, wine, soft drinks, and household cleaners.

Sureshine specializes refinishing, polishing, and sealing marble counters and other natural stone surfaces in Valley View, TX to look like new again. We refinish marble by using specialized abrasives and polishing powders to bring your marble counters back to new.

Marble Matte (honed)

honed finish is a low to no shine finish. This means that when you look straight into the surface of your marble counters you will not see a reflection. You will see a little bit of reflection when looking across your marble counter surface at windows and other light sources. When look at the surface of your marble counter the movement and veining in the stone is more prevalent. This is a common finish for marble countertops in Valley View, TX

Semi-polished finish is a medium to high shine finish on your marble counters that will show some reflection when looking down into it and a high reflection when looking across it. This is a common finish for some marble floors as well as countertops.

Marble Polished Finish

Marble Polished Finish is as it sounds. Your marble shower walls are brought to a high shine using diamond abrasives and polished chemically to achieve depth and clarity. A Polished finish is common on residential and commercial marble counters and other marble surfaces. Polished marble will require more maintenance and etches can be seen easier in the shine.

Marble Leathered Finish

Is a rough or textured finish most commonly done on marble and natural stone counters. The leathered finish on your marble counter is achieved using abrasive brushes that remove the softer parts of the stone while polishing the harder areas of the stone. Leathered finishes come at all levels of shine from matte to polished. A leathered marble counter has an old world look and feel.

Caring for your marble counters in Valley View, TX

1

You should always remember that etches and stains are distinctly different issues that can occur on your marble counters. Etches are chemical reactions that physically disrupt the surface causing ring marks and drips marks that make it look dirty and can not be removed with any level of cleaning. Etches can more easily be seen when looking at the counters at an angle. The disruption in the surface is a disruption in the shine.

2

Use coasters or other protective measures to prevent etches caused by liquids. We have all seen those rings and drip marks on our marble counters. Using coasters will keep those incidental ring marks off your counter.

3

Protect marble backsplashes from splashes of hot oil when cooking. You can use a cutting board or some other barriers. Sealers can be used to reduce and prevent oil stains but unseen oil that sits on sealed marble can still cause stains.

4

Elevate soap containers and other products that you use off the surface using trays. Liquid soap can damage the surface when it is allowed to sit there for long periods of time under soap bottles.
