These Marble Surfaces in Chicago Got a Full Makeover from Our Stone Polishing Crew

February 12, 2026

A couple in Chicago wasn't happy with their cleaning results, specifically when it came to the stone surfaces inside their bathroom spaces. Both the master bathroom and the guest bathroom shared similar layouts, starting with marble vanities that covered one of the walls inside each room. Since the couple followed the same cleaning routine in the two bathroom areas, it made sense that the stone surfaces also started losing their shine around the same time. The change wasn't as obvious for the casual observer, but the owners could tell the difference, and they missed the marble's natural gleam.


After one of them came up with the idea of contacting a professional stone polishing service in Chicago, the couple quit using regular cleaners and focused solely on finding the right company for the job.

Sir Grout Chicago proved to be everything they'd envisioned, and they were eager to get in touch with us once they were done checking our user-friendly website. The couple secured an in-home evaluation during a phone call with one of our agents, after confirming that we could visit their home that same week.

On the appointed date, they both welcomed us into their home so we could inspect the vanity tops, leading us to the master bathroom and the guest bathroom for the evaluation. It was obvious that the homeowners took good care of their bathroom surfaces since the two vanities were spotless. Unfortunately, that didn't hide the etch marks around the sink and the marble's worn-out look. Luckily, the couple got in touch with us on time, so the marks hadn't spread across the large surface.


Our techs completed the evaluation and gave the clients a step-by-step summary of our restoration process, confirming that the stone needed a professional polishing to regain its natural sheen. The couple expected this assessment, so they immediately agreed with our offer.

We arrived the very next day for the restoration, as per their request. Our specialists readied the necessary equipment and got to work, making our way to the single-bowl vanity after completing the process inside the master bathroom. To clean the marble, we used a stone-safe formula to remove any specs of dirt and soap residue, wiping the surface thoroughly at the end of the process.

Next, our experts honed the marble with three sets of high-end diamond pads, increasing the level of grit as the etch marks were removed. To restore its shine, we used special polishing pads on the stone until we achieved the most gorgeous glow in every inch of the flat surface.

The last step was sealing both vanity tops to preserve their flawless look, so our techs applied stone sealant to protect the marble against decay and external agents. Then, we showed the results to the clients, and they were fully satisfied with the marble's new glow, remarking that the surface looked richer and much more vibrant.

Before leaving the couple's home, our experts went over some additional cleaning tips to protect marble surfaces more effectively. We started by listing the benefits of pH-neutral formulas and introduced Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner as the best option to improve the maintenance of marble and other bathroom surfaces. Unlike soap-based cleaners, our product removes the dirt without subjecting the stone to harsh ingredients. It works against grime, moisture, cosmetic residue, etc., so homeowners can expect positive results without worrying about marks left on the marble. Along with the dirt, our cleaner also removes many of the problems attached to traditional formulas: it doesn't chip away at the sealant, and your bathroom spaces won't be contaminated with toxic fumes each time you need to do household chores.

Our second recommendation was to avoid steel wools and other abrasive tools since they're far from the most effective solution against embedded dirt. More importantly, sharp tools may scratch stone surfaces, making way for etch marks in little time. As our techs explained during the visit, a towel or a terry cloth will deliver much more satisfying results without damaging the vanity in the process.

The couple also wanted to know how to slow down the effects of moisture buildup, so our specialists recommended keeping the area properly ventilated throughout the day. A bathroom area is exposed to dampness for most of the day, and the effect can be severe even when you follow a strict cleaning routine. By opening the windows and doors, you can stop the growth of mold and remove the dirt more seamlessly during your chores. Our team shared all these tips with the owners, and they promised to pass the recommendation to all their friends and family in the area.
