Marble Countertop Care How To Maintain Your Stone In Between Visits

Spills from coffee, wine, fruit juices, and sauces can penetrate your marble countertop, leaving ugly stains.
And if the stain has already penetrated beneath the countertop’s surface, wiping will not remove them.

Depending on the extent of the stain, we can help remove it from your marble countertop within a few minutes or a few hours.
If the stain has already penetrated the deeper layers of the marble, we can remove it using a method known as a poultice. If the poultice fails to remove the stain, we can grind the affected area of your marble countertop and then polish it back to its original finish. The stain removal method we will apply will depend on the nature and extent of the stain.

Remove Scratches From Marble

As noted above, marble comes with a soft, porous surface. So, apart from absorbing stains, it can also be easily scratched. These scratches usually happen when you chop vegetables or meat directly on the marble countertop surface.

Scratches will also occur if you drag or slide appliances on the countertop. JK Marble can remove scrums and other imperfections from your marble countertops.

Our scratch removal process involves polishing the marble countertop with high-grit or medium-grit industrial diamond pads. After grinding the surface using the appropriate tool, we will apply the polishing paste, restoring your marble countertops to their original shine.

Remove Etch Marks From Countertops

As part of marble countertop care, we provide information about how and why your marble countertops etch. Acidic substances like lemon juice, caustic soda, ketchup, fruit juice, and vinegar can etch your marble countertops, leaving white or dull spots. The problem is that ordinary cleaning products can’t remove the etched stains. That’s why it’s advisable to consult marble countertop restoration professionals like JK Marble.

Our etch removal process follows three main steps. First, we will use a stone cleaner to remove the dirt and grime on the surface of your marble countertops. We will then rinse the surface thoroughly to remove all the residue.

Second, we polish the marble using marble polishing powder until all the etched stains have disappeared. At this stage, your marble countertop will also look shiny. Third, we rinse the marble surface with clean water and then buff it dry using a soft fiber cloth.

Repair Chips On  Marble Countertops

Chips can also occur on the edges of your marble countertops. Regardless of the extent of the chipping, we can help to repair them and give your marble countertops a better look.

We repair chipped marble countertops using kitchen-grade or food-grade epoxy. We will also mix the epoxy with various color pigments to ensure it matches the existing color and pattern.

Repairing chipped marble countertops is a sensitive job that requires a specific set of tools and supplies. While doing it yourself may save money, you may damage your marble countertops further. So, let the marble countertop restoration experts at JK Marble do the job, and you can rest assured that you will get value for your money.

Repair Cracks On  Marble Countertops

Marble countertops can crack when subjected to hard impacts.
For instance, sitting on a countertop overhang or bumping its corners with heavy furniture may be enough to crack the slab.

When your marble countertop cracks, replacing it may seem like the best option. But what happens when you don’t have enough money to replace the entire countertop?
We can repair a cracked marble countertop, so you don’t have to replace the entire piece.

We can repair and fix hairline cracks, splitting apart, or deep breakages in marble countertops. Our repair method will depend on the size of the crack.

Sealing Marble Countertops

Sealing is usually the last process in our marble countertop restoration. It helps preserve your marble countertops while preventing future damage. Sealing also prevents moisture, staining, and molding, keeping them shiny, beautiful, and elegant.
