How do you clean a marble coffee table?
Question:I have what I thought was a marble coffee table that has water stains and now has bleach bathroom cleaner stains as well. My daughter got a hold of the cleaner trying to help mommy out. I understand the bleach stain but i thought marble repelled water stains? Is there anything i can use that will get those stains out and that i or my husband can do ourselves? I have tried Lowes marble cleaners and polishers and even used a buffer and car wax to no avail. Any help would be appreciated! thanks!
Answers:
You should be able to remove the water stains, but unfortunately bleach probably permanently etched the surface. Tile Lab makes a kit that contains a poultice that I've used to remove water stains successfully from marble, but I suspect that it won't do much for the bleach stain. You may have to have the marble professionally re-surfaced to remove that cloudiness. Marble does not repell water and if left to sit on the surface, most liquids will cloud it. I seal most of my stone with Gel Gloss which puts a barrier on the surface that makes liquids bead up rather than soaking in. Also, it leaves a nice shine.
sand it down till the colors blend so so ,wipe it off ,let it dry we used bees wax to seal and clean ,good luck...
Have you tried toothpaste, lemon, or baking soda?
