Tricks for marble polishing that actually work


The marble floors look elegant, beautiful, and quite durable. However, they can get blemished easily which requires consistent cleaning, maintenance, and marble polishing. One way is by polishing it with your hands and the other is by using a floor polishing machine. The floors come in a wide range of different colors, patterns, styles, sizes, and finishes, which means that you can create an elegant, formal entryway or a rustic kitchen and regardless of stone type, your floor will last for years when properly maintained.


Not all stone floorings are strong enough to be polished, but some of those that are may also be subjected to something called etching. This phenomenon occurs when a highly acidic, alkaline, or abrasive substance comes in contact with the weaker particles of the stone's surface. These weaker particles are removed, which results in a dull spot on your floor. Over time, your stone floor may lose its polish if it's subjected to enough materials that can leave etch marks.


How to get the floors to shine without etching:



  • DIY or Do it yourself Methods: You can easily make a cleaning solution at home to polish your marble floors by hand. Since marble is a very delicate material when it comes to conventional and chemical cleaners, you are in a better-off position if you avoid them. The first step that you can do is to remove any visible stains from the marble. You can do this by using a damp sponge and a mild detergent or soap. Gently scrub the stain with the sponge or a soft brush followed by wiping with mild soap and rinsing it. To polish the marble floor, you can make a homemade polish by mixing 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 part of water and applying this solution to the floor. Let the solution dry for a few hours after which you can buff it with a clean cloth to restore its shine. This type of polishing with hands will not be as effective as professional marble polishing but still, you would be able to keep your marble floor in a better position for a longer time. Then once a year, you can get the floor with a floor polishing machine or employ the services of professional polishers.


  • If you have ceramic tiles in your home, waxing and polishing it is quite a simple task. Through polishing, the natural shine of the tiles will return and the tiles will look as good as new. The first step is to create your own cleaning solution. This involves mixing a 1/4th cup of vinegar in a gallon of warm water. Before polishing your tiles, you have to make sure that they are clean and free from all kinds of dirt and dust. Start by brooming or vacuuming the tiles followed by a thorough cleaning and washing using the vinegar solution you created. Wipe with a clean damp cloth at the end to remove the vinegar from the floor. Once the floor is completely clean, you can polish it by using high-grade wax made for ceramic tiles. Apply a thin layer of wax over the whole floor and let it dry. Once dry, buff the floor by using a soft cloth, sponge, or buffer. This will help bring back the shine to the tiled floor.

Marble polishing is an important step to achieve a flawless interior. The marble floor can reflect your cleanliness side and can get your guests to feel welcomed.
