A Stone Polishing in Chicago Successfully Revamped These Marble Surfaces

October 16, 2019

A homeowner from Chicago had beautiful natural stone surfaces in her house. She loved the elegance the stone gave to her home and all the compliments she received. Unfortunately, the beauty of the marble began to fade. She noticed dull spots, scratches, and stains on the bathroom's countertop. The kitchen floor had the same issues.


The owner was not pleased with this situation, so she tried some DIY cleaning methods. She spent hours mopping and brushing, but nothing seemed to work. After considering her options, she decided to hire professionals. While she was searching, one of her friends told her about Sir Grout Chicago's outstanding stone restoration services and advised her to contact us. Following his advice, she called us and asked for a free in-home consultation. Thanks to our Chicago Stone Polishing experts, her surfaces now have a gorgeous new look.

Sir Grout Chicago's owner visited her house with an expert crew to assess the condition of the surfaces. She was expecting the visit, and after meeting her, our team began the evaluation. Our experts noticed the marble countertop had a lackluster appearance. There were also stains and scratches on the surface. Our technicians explained that years of wear and tear had led to this deterioration. The stone is vulnerable to acidic substances. Using products with these properties etched the stone and caused the dull spots. The floor was in poor condition as well. The natural stone tiles looked dull and had lost their appeal. To remove all the blemishes that were affecting the surfaces, it was necessary to perform proper maintenance with Sir Grout's professional tools and high-end honing pads.

To restore the surface, our team proposed a stone polishing service. With this process, our experts would remove all the damage and give a new finish to the stone. Our crew assured the owner everything would be fully restored when they were finished. She accepted the offer and decided to hire our team.

Sir Grout's experts returned to her house a few days later to begin the restoration. Our team decided to begin working on the countertop. In order to achieve the best results possible, they followed a series of steps. Our techs started by cleaning the surface using Sir Grout's stone-safe product and a high-speed scrubber. Unlike regular cleaners, our product has an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi for an extended period of time after application. When the countertop was completely clean, our pros began the honing process. They ran three sets of honing pads, increasing the level of grit to remove all the blemishes and damages. To achieve the finish the owner requested, our technicians needed to polish the stone. For this purpose, they continued grinding, using abrasive materials and special powders. They continued the job with the sealing process.


To finish the restoration of the countertop, our experts sealed the stone with an impregnating sealer. Our superior sealant wards off damages and reduces deterioration because it blocks the absorption of liquids and all other external agents. It also enhances the stone with a brand-new look. After restoring the countertop, our team needed to address the damage on the floor. Our professionals honed, polished, and sealed the surface. When they finished, the floor looked beautiful.

Our team showed invited the owner to see the results of their hard work. She was amazed because the surfaces looked astonishing. Impressed by the excellent performance our professionals displayed, she thanked them and stated she would recommend Sir Grout Chicago to her friends, family, and neighbors.

One of Sir Grout's goals is to make sure our clients know how to take care of their surfaces. For this reason, our team took some time to teach our client how to perform safer and more effective cleaning routines. They recommended cleaning the surface regularly. For this task, use only pH-neutral soap-free products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Do not use acidic or soap-based cleaning solutions because they are harsh and can produce negative effects or stain the stone. After applying the cleaning solution on the floor, let it dry completely before entering the room again. Keep children and pets away from the wet surface.

To dry the surface, use a towel or a terry cloth. Avoid using abrasive tools such as steel wools because they can scratch the stone. Also, keep cosmetics and fragrances in safe containers. Do not leave wet bottles like perfumes or after-shaves on the countertop. This can lead to staining, discoloration, and deterioration.
