Why Your Marble Floor Looks Dull — And How to Fix It

Marble adds timeless elegance to any home — but if yours looks dull, stained, or scratched, it’s not just wear and tear. It’s a sign your stone needs proper care.

In our latest video, we break down the real reasons marble loses its shine and how to restore it without damaging the surface. Most homeowners unknowingly use acidic cleaners or skip resealing, which leads to etching and permanent damage.

Here’s what you’ll learn: • Why pH-neutral cleaners are essential for marble • How often to schedule professional cleaning (hint: it’s more often than you think) • What dullness, stains, and light scratches really mean • How expert polishing revives your stone and protects your investment

📍 If you’re in Toryglen or nearby, we offer professional marble cleaning and restoration services tailored to your home.
