This Beautiful Brown Marble Shower in Wheaton Got a New Chance To Shine Thanks to Our Stone Cleaning Team

February 25, 2023

Due to its durability and elegance, marble is one of the most preferred surface choices for bathrooms and showers. This resilient natural stone comes in a wide variety of patterns, colors, and textures. A huge amount of people choose to get marble surfaces, but they frequently forget that they require ongoing maintenance to keep their natural shine.


This homeowner had a brown marble shower in her bathroom. It looked great for some time, but the owner saw that the natural stone lost its luster day by day. Frustrated, she tried to restore the shower's former shine with store-bought cleaning items. Unfortunately, this just made things worse. The surfaces became etched and discolored. After some thought, the homeowner decided to get the help of professionals. She searched for a stone cleaning company in Whaeton, IL, and found our website on the first page of search results. She contacted us to schedule a free in-home consultation after seeing the before and after picture gallery.

Our professionals came to the client's home the day after to evaluate the shower. Our team noticed that the brown marble surface was not shiny as it once was. In addition, the stone surface was etched and discolored most likely due to improper cleaning. Natural crystals can be found in marble. When these crystals reflect light, they give the natural stone a shine. Most over-the-counter solutions and acidic cleaners contain chemicals that can dull, scrape, and even discolor these crystals, preventing them from reflecting light.

To restore the brown marble shower to its former shine, our experts offered a stone cleaning multi-step procedure to the homeowner. She approved the offer and scheduled a date for the job to take place.

Our team returned to the client's home on the scheduled day to begin the restoration. We cleaned the shower's surface completely with a pH-neutral stone-safe cleaner. Our cleaner also has properties that keep mold and mildew at bay. The shower was then honed with a low grit diamond pad to eliminate all of the etch traces, and to even out the surface, they gradually increased the grit.

Polishing the marble shower was the next step. To do so, our team polished the stone using a low-speed buffer until it recovered its natural luster. Our experts completed the service by applying our own unique sealer to the shower. Our product protects any hard surface against liquid, cosmetics, dirt, and other external agents.

When the job was finished, our team showed the results to the homeowner. She was shocked with how clean her shower looked. The marble had regained its bright luster. She thanked our experts and said she would recommend Sir Grout Chicago around her neighborhood.

Before leaving, our specialists gave the customer some advice on how to keep the natural stone surface in good shape. They recommended him to avoid using acidic cleaners and homemade cleaning solutions. Instead, they suggested cleaning the shower once a week with Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, which is pH-neutral, soap-free and stone-safe.
