Work goes in runs.Cleaned two more marble bathrooms today.Once again with the right chemicals and machinery this is a very easy job.This is where S4Smarble cleaning product does a great job. It simply makes it so easy. Stone cleaning products , with marble any way have to be ph neutral. The reason is that marble is a delicate product. Don’t use anything too harsh.
Any way finished by lunch time. Tomorrow off to Brisbane to remove scratches from marble bathroom floors then repolish all the marble bathroom then reseal and buff.

Just completed three days of marble polishing.Big job, that when finished looked like new.Pretty monotonous work. Once you get the polish timing right , and the polish mix consistency right ,simply start at one end of the house and keep going.
PROCEDURE
Only do a metre at a time.Using the polyvac machine and a white pad under neath.Go back and forward with the marble polish consistency like thin tooth paste.Using a squeegee remove marble polish to next area.Then in area already polished neutralise. WE use S4S marble cleaner.Then wet vacuum waste and continue. A good marble cleaning tip is this.Do not marble polish then forget to neutralise. If you do you will have to repeat process.
We left the client with a starter kit of marble cleaner and a maintenance procedure to help keep their marble floors looking great.

We arrived to find this beautiful house with a fantastic hand carved fireplace. The problem was during transportation it obtained a nasty chip in the side and a piece broke off. Matty and I carefully used “Tenex” marble glue to repair the problems.
We had to carefully match the colour which is the hard part. When [...]

Over the past 4 weeks I have been to a few jobs that have to be done in sections. I’m not a big fan on doing work in parts but it was necessary. On one job there were three large indoor/ outdoor fire places. They had to have the scaffold removed after sealing. It was [...]
A brand new “Crema Marfil” marble bathroom stuffed. Someone turned up to anti-slip the floors and decided that an acid wash was the way to go. Wrong!
What the client wanted was this. The area in the actual shower, matt finished and good anti-slip and the dry area of the shower bathroom repolished to match the [...]
I got a call from Susan the other day just asking about cleaning her marble bathroom walls and floor tiles. She said that they just didn’t look as good as they should. It had been about 4 years since they had been installed and sealed. On testing the floors they were in need of a [...]
Elaine called me explaining that no matter how much she tried to clean her marble vanity’s in the bathroom, they still looked dirty. On inspection I told her that the marble had become etched through spillages of acid based solutions such as vinegar, lemon juice, wine glass rings etc.
This is not just a case of [...]
