Choosing natural stone for bathrooms and showers has now become a very popular choice among homeowners, but marble is always a favorite because of its beauty, durability, and the appearance it can bring to any area. Although many homeowners choose marble, they should be aware that natural stones need to be sealed and properly maintained to keep them in a top-notch condition.

Our next customer was a Bucktown resident in Chicago, IL. The woman had been living in her gorgeous home for three years. Since moving into the house, she had worked to maintain every area of the property and made every effort to keep it all clean, so she paid particular attention to her marble shower. With a child and time constraints, the task was still a difficult one. The owner periodically performed cleaning routines, but during one cleaning session, she noticed that her brown marble shower walls were getting dull and had lost their color and vibrancy. She didn't pay much attention to the problem at first, but as time went by, the resident saw how the natural stone slowly began to worsen regardless of the products or methods she used. After weeks of trying to solve the problem herself, the woman realized that the marble was completely dull, so she gave up and started looking for a Chicago Stone Honing professional service immediately.

The homeowner had no as to what company clue about any company that could help her with the issue, but she knew that waiting longer to find a solution would worsen the state of the natural stone. Her best option was to find a professional service online. She typed in her favorite search engine: 'the best stone experts in Chicago' and among the top search results, found Sir Grout Chicago. While browsing our website, she read about the different hard surface restoration services we provide and saw several photos in our "Before and After" section of the results achieved by our specialists. Since the woman was totally convinced we were the perfect company to renovate her marble shower, she filled out the "Request a Quote" form to schedule a free in-home consultation.

On the day of the evaluation, our experienced stone professionals went to the client's home to assess the natural stone shower and to offer the most effective solution. When the homeowner invited them to the bathroom, they noticed the dullness of the marble right away and asked her about the cleaning routine she had for the shower. After listening to her methods, our team explained to the customer that people usually do not know the correct way to maintain natural stone surfaces. They frequently used improper cleaning products and techniques, which always led to damage. The woman asked if there was any solution for bringing back the brown marble look. Our experts assured her that after a stone honing and polishing service, the shower would be spotless. She agreed and scheduled a date for the job.

A few days later, our specialists returned to the house ready to begin the restoration process. The first step was cleaning the entire marble surface. To do so, the technicians applied our proprietary cleaner that contains highly effective ingredients. They let it soak for a couple of minutes, then they used a high-speed but gentle scrubber to remove all the dirt and soap scum from the walls. Next, they used a vapor steam cleaner to eliminate any trace of mold and mildew that had accumulated due to the moist environment of the shower.

The next step was honing and polishing the brown marble surface. Our experts did it by using a very low grit pad to leave the stone smoother. They gradually raised the grit level to bring back the original shine of the marble as the customer had requested.

When the shower walls were clean and dry, our team continued with the last step of the job, applying impregnating sealant to prevent future damages and deterioration on the natural stone.
Our stone professionals invited the client to the bathroom to show her the results. She was completely thrilled to see the brown marble walls looking so bright. The surface was so spotless it looked like a mirror. She couldn't stop thanking us for the incredible job and assured us she would call us back if she had another hard surface problem in the future.

Before they left, our technicians gave her some maintenance tips to keep the natural stone appearance in top-notch condition. First, they suggested never using steel wool or any other abrasive tools when cleaning the surface. Instead, they suggested using a soft terry cloth rag. Also, they told her to keep the bathroom well ventilated to prevent future mold and mildew problems. Finally, they recommended always using Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner on every surface of her house because our cleaning products can now inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In addition, these products will not harm pets, plants, or humans.
