Turning Troublesome Etch Marks into Marble Magic: A Homeowner’s Tale
Dealing with Dull Spots on a Brand-New Marble Countertop
Picture this: A homeowner in Westlake, Texas gives Santa Fe Floor Care a call, worried sick about strange marks ruining her one-year-old marble countertop. She spilled the beans—three kids, a love for cooking, and lots of entertaining. The culprit? Acidic cooking products wreaking havoc on her precious marble.
A Fix for the Long Haul
Understanding the need for a lasting solution, we had a plan. We suggested a makeover from a shiny finish to a more subdued one. Why? So, when the inevitable etching happens again, it won’t be as noticeable, and the countertop will keep looking good.
Step-by-Step Magic
Here’s how we did it:
1. Keeping Things Clean
We covered up everything around the countertop with protective plastic. Less mess to deal with later.
2. Wet Sanding Wonders
We used some fancy tools—a grinder and special diamond pads—to do a wet sanding that’s dust-free. Repeat a few times to get rid of that pesky polish.
3. The Final Touch
To get that nice, not-too-shiny look, we used a soft diamond pad for one last pass. Smooth, sleek, and ready to impress.
4. Sealing the Deal
Finished it off by giving the marble a good soaking with a top-notch sealer. Think of it as armor for your countertop against future damage.
Knowledge is Power
We didn’t stop there. Before saying our goodbyes, we shared some tips on how to take care of the countertop and which cleaners to use. Knowledge is key to keeping that countertop looking fabulous.
