General Questions
What is marble?
Marble is formed from limestone subjected to intense pressure and heat. A metamorphic rock composed mainly of calcite, many marbles are white, but can also contain many other colors due to the presence of other minerals in the stone. Marble has stood the test of time for centuries in sculptures and architecture, and is a great option for many applications.
How do you remove stains from marble?
A general household process to remove stains from marble:
- To remove stains from marble, start by gently blotting the affected area with a soft cloth to absorb excess liquid. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain.
- Create a paste of baking soda and water, then apply it to the stain and let it sit for several hours or overnight. For oil-based stains, use a poultice made of hydrogen peroxide and a powdered absorbent material like talc.
- Once the paste or poultice has dried, scrape it off the surface of the stone with a plastic scraper or the flat edge of a straight razor blade.
- Repeat the process if necessary, then dry the marble completely.
What is marble made of?
Marble is composed principally of the carbonate minerals calcite and dolomite, singly or in combination.
Is marble porous?
Yes, as with all natural stone, marble is porous by nature. As with all natural stone, it is recommended that marble be sealed to extend its longevity.
Does marble need to be sealed?
Yes, as with all natural stone, it is recommended to seal marble. A quality sealer will penetrate the stone, allow it to breathe, and permit more of the stone’s natural beauty to shine through. Unsealed stone is more susceptible to absorbing moisture, dirt and cleaning chemicals. Therefore, it is recommended that a sealer be applied soon after installation and re-sealed every six months.
