A resident from Chicago had a beautiful marble floor. She loved the shiny surface, but unfortunately, it had lost its charm. After years of wear and tear, the stone looked run-down. The owner was not happy with this situation, and she wanted to find a fast solution. However, she was busy with work and her budget was limited. She considered all her options and decided it was best to look for a professional hard surface restoration company. Sir Grout Chicago came to the rescue and saved the day once again.

A quick internet search led her to our website. She went online and typed Chicago Stone Polishing services on her search engine. At the top results, she found our site. After thoroughly browsing our picture gallery, and reading testimonials from our satisfied customers, she was convinced we were the best choice. She filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free assessment.

We followed her request and visited her house to provide the in-home consultation. The owner was expecting us, and quickly showed us the affected area. As soon as we entered, we saw the problems. The stone was deteriorated, and it looked dull and unappealing. Etching is a common problem on marble surfaces. It occurs when acidic or colorful substances dry on the stone, leaving dull spots and degrading its natural shine. As the inspection continued, we noticed the floor was unsealed. It is necessary to keep the marble fully sealed to prevent further damages and deterioration.

The inspection reached a conclusion, and with the necessary information, we offered a solution. Since we had determined that regular cleaning wouldn't work, this task would require Sir Grout's high-end equipment and professional process. We proposed a stone polishing service to rectify the damages, and give the marble a brand-new finish and a stunning sheen. The owner found the offer remarkable and decided to hire us for the job.

A few days after the evaluation, we returned to our client's house. After preparing the necessary equipment, we began the thorough restoration process. For the first step, we cleaned the surface with our stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our exclusive product is made with high-quality ingredients, so it won't cause any damage to the marble. After scrubbing out the soiling, it was time to hone the stone.

For this task, we used our professional diamond honing pads. To remove the damage, we ran three sets, each with increased levels of grit. We continued this procedure until there was no sign of deterioration. After honing, polishing is necessary to give the marble a new finish. To achieve the gloss the owner requested, we ground using a series of abrasives and special powders. When the stone acquired the desired level of shine, we continued the job with the sealing process.

First, we sealed the grout lines using Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our flagship sealant provides long-lasting results and offers unmatched protection. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents, making cleaning routines easy and fast. Our sealers also repel UV rays, for areas subjected to solar damage. ColorSeal greatly improves the surface by giving the grout a uniform color and a brand-new appearance. It comes in a wide range of colors, so our clients can choose the best one for their surfaces. To finish the job, we applied a coating of a protective sealer on the stone. This added an extra layer of protection, reducing deterioration from daily wear and tear. As expected, the restoration was a complete success, the marble gleamed beautifully, and the floor looked wonderful.

With the goals of the stone polishing job accomplished, we called our client and showed her the results. The owner loved the beautiful shine of her marble floor. She was beyond thrilled because we were able to bring back the beauty of the surface. Happy with our work, the owner told us our performance surpassed all her expectations, and after thanking us, she assured us she would recommend Sir Grout Chicago to everyone.

Marble is a stylish and durable natural stone, ideal for any surface in the house. However, the stone is not impervious to damages and it requires proper care. Following our recommendations is the best way to prevent deterioration. We suggested setting up a weekly cleaning routine. Perform this chore using only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner.

Unlike store-bought cleaners, our product doesn't leave any residue and offers many benefits. It is non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. We don't recommend using soap-based cleaners or substances that contain acidic properties. There are harsh agents and chemicals in these products that can be harmful to the marble, causing dull spots, etching, and other issues.

It is also important to keep the floor as dry as possible. If there is a spill on the surface, dry the affected area immediately. Soak up the liquid using paper towels or absorbent cloths. Never use abrasive tools because they can leave scratches on the marble tiles. Make sure to check if the stone is fully sealed by pouring a few drops of water on the surface. If marble absorbs the liquid, it needs sealing.
