This Marble Countertop Shines Beautifully Thanks to a Professional Stone Polishing in Manhattan

October 08, 2021

A couple from Manhattan had a problem with a natural stone surface in their house. Their kitchen was equipped with a gorgeous marble countertop, but as time passed, the stone lost its beauty. While performing regular maintenance, they noticed the surface looked dull and unappealing. They were not happy with this situation because they loved the natural reflective shine of the marble. Determined to solve the issue, the couple tried using some DIY cleaning routines they found online. Unfortunately, there were no improvements.


The couple considered their options and decided to look for professional assistance. Luckily, one of their friends told them about Sir Grout Manhattan. She was a loyal client and immediately recommended our Manhattan Stone Polishing services, saying we had done an amazing job in her house. To learn more about us, the couple visited our website. After thoroughly browsing our picture gallery, and reading the positive testimonials from our satisfied customers, they were convinced we were the best in town. They filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free in-home consultation.

As per the owners' request, we visited their house to inspect the marble countertop. We noticed the surface looked run-down and the stone had lost its natural beauty and shine. After years of daily use, the marble was scratched and etched. We explained that etching occurs when acidic or color liquids are left to dry on the surface. Improper cleaning methods can cause damage as well. It is also important to keep the stone fully sealed. This will prevent degradation and future damages. When we finished the inspection, we told the couple that regular cleaning wouldn't provide the solution they were expecting. The restoration required Sir Grout's high-end equipment and professional process. We proposed a stone polishing service to remove the damages and give the marble a brand-new finish. The owners were happy with the offer, so they hired us and we set up a date for the job.


Following the scheduled date, we returned with the necessary equipment to restore the marble countertop. To begin our thorough stone polishing process, we cleaned the surface using our stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our exclusive product won't cause any damage, doesn't leave a residue, and it's made with high-quality ingredients. When the surface was completely clean, we were ready to hone the stone. To rectify the damage, we ran three sets of our professional hand machines, increasing the diamond's grit level on each one. We continued grinding until there was no sign of deterioration. After honing, polishing is necessary to give the marble a new finish. Since the owners wanted a glossy surface, we ground using special polishing powders. We continued this procedure until we achieved the desired level of shine.

For the following step, we sealed the stone with a protective sealer. Our top-notch product offers unmatched defense and provides long-lasting results. It blocks the absorption of liquids and wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents. Our sealer makes cleaning routines easy and fast by reducing the need for excessive scrubbing. It also improves the surface, giving the marble a revamped appearance. After finishing all the steps, the marble countertop had a beautiful gleam and the surface had been completely restored. It was time to show the results to our clients.

Our clients loved the beautiful new look of their marble surface. They were very happy because the process had been fast and cost-effective. Before we left, the couple told us our performance was impressive, and after thanking us, they assured us they would recommend Sir Grout Manhattan to their friends, family, and neighbors.

Marble kitchen countertops are stylish, beautiful, and durable, but they receive heavy wear and tear. For this reason, the stone requires proper care. Following our recommendations is the best way to prevent damages and deterioration. We suggest setting up a regular cleaning routine. For this task, use only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product provides excellent results 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. These products can harm the marble, causing dull spots, etching, and other damages.

It is important to keep the surface as dry as possible. To prevent staining and deterioration, remove spills as soon as they occur. When cleaning the stone, soak the liquid with a paper towel or an absorbent cloth. Don't use abrasive tools like steel wools because they can scratch the marble. Avoid leaving hot pots on the surface and always use a cutting board when preparing food with a knife.
