A Marble Floor in Whitestone Shines Like Never Before Thanks to Our Stone Polishing Service

May 09, 2025

Marble surfaces can give you some grief when it's time to stop the signs of etching, but if you follow a regular cleaning regime, there's nothing that a professional polishing can't fix. A homeowner in Whitestone couldn't stand the look of his marble floor, and his stress was worsened by countless attempts to clean the surface. Unfortunately, his efforts didn't stop the stone's deterioration, so he found himself dealing with a dull surface and several etch marks that spread across the house's main hallway.


The problem required a professional's assistance, so the homeowner went online looking for a stone polishing service in Whitestone. Sir Grout was at the top of his search results, so he had high expectations when he visited our website. As expected, Sir Grout Queens was everything he'd been hoping for and more, so the homeowner contacted us right after perusing our picture gallery and other parts of the site.

At his request, our specialists went to the house that same week and began their assessment right away. We looked into every inch of the black marble surface, looking at every room that was connected to the hallway. All in all, the stone wasn't at risk of suffering lasting damage, but the etch marks still made it look worn and aged. Since many people walked around that part of the house, it wasn't surprising that the floor showed signs of deterioration after months of constant foot traffic.

Now that we knew what we were working with, our experts went over the restoration method with the client, explaining that we needed to seal the surface to preserve its smoothness after polishing. The homeowner immediately accepted our offer to revamp the shower, thanked us for the evaluation, and set a new date for the job.

On the appointed date, our techs returned to the house with all the necessary equipment to work on the floor. The first step was cleaning the surface to ensure it was ready for honing. We soaked all parts of the floor with a stone-safe cleaner and removed all traces of dirt and the residue left by soap-based cleaners. This restored the vibrance of the marble surface, bringing back its deep black color.

After eliminating all external elements, we prepared three sets of diamond pads. Then, our specialists honed the counter, increasing the level of grit until we removed all the etch marks from the stone. When the marble had a nice matte finish, we used special polishing powders to restore its natural glow.

Our experts were ready for the final step, so we applied stone sealant on the floor to ensure its protection against external elements. This powerful sealant prevents damage caused by moisture, soap, grease, mold, and mildew while also preserving natural stone against decay for months on end.

The client was amazed by the result and he thanked our crew for doing such a thorough job. The entire floor shined beautifully, so the marble surface now left a lasting impression that made the hallway look much more appealing. The owner showed the result to the rest of the family and he promised to tell more people about the quality of our stone polishing services.

He also asked for tips to prevent new issues after such a fantastic restoration, and we were more than happy to share our recommendations. Our specialists told him that pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are the most effective alternative to avoid the effects of bleach and other chemical formulas. On its own, our cleaner manages to keep natural stone glowing at all times while removing the most stubborn stains. Because of constant exposure to foot traffic, floors can get soiled relatively quickly, so they need the most powerful solution to keep the dirt at bay. Our high-quality cleaner delivers all the effectiveness you need without weakening the sealant's protection, so you can optimize your cleaning routine on all fronts.

Another way to avoid harsh treatment on marble surfaces is by using non-abrasive tools like fresh towels or a terry cloth. Stone floors are meant to withstand a lot of activity, but they will still lose their smooth appearance if you use a steel wool to scrub off the dirt. Lastly, our crew also recommended checking the air quality inside the room and to open the windows at any sign of moisture buildup around the corners.
