I have tumbled marble in my bathroom and tried a tile spray to remove the soap buildup as well as Quick n brite. These two did not work for me, though. After browsing a tile forum I came up with using an ammonia based product. I ended up using pine-sol diluted in my bathtub and a non-scratching scrubby. Not only did this work, but when I drained my tub the little grip circles on the bottom of my tub were back to white...something that even a soaking with bleach couldn't seem to fix for me.

I Crema de marfil (sp) 12x12 tiles in my master bath. Love the looks of the floor when it was new and still do in some places. IMHO, with vanity chair, kids, dogs, cats, Make up, after shave, etc, it just did not hold up well at all in the heavy traffic areas. My daughter spilled nail polish remover and it ruined an area of the tile. The least expensive quote to repolish 80sf was $650. I'll retile with something more duable for that price than spend it on repolishing every so many years. It may work for some. It did not work for us. But it is pretty. Here are pics when it looked good

you'll want to test your water pH. Marble is typically between 7pH and 10pH. Lower pH will etch your stone. Higher pH water generally is a result of water hardness-i.e. calcium- which means you will get build up. A whole house filter can help and also using neutral pH cleaners regularly as described above by others. Again, neutral pH is always relative to the type of stone. DO NOT skip on applying sealer every year and I'd even recommend twice a year. Eventually you will need to polish at some point, but removing etching costs a lot more when polishing than just doing a top polish to bring back the shine, so take care of the stone. Feel free to call AAAStonePro.com, IG:@AAAStonePro, if you have anymore questions or when you do need a polish further down the road. I'm always free just to educate other on the proper care methods and treatments.

In some European countries men do sit down without feeling emasculated. Many men probably if they are performing both bodily functions sit for both, rather than changing positions a lot, so I am not sure why some men think it is sissified to not stand all the time. I think another part of the equation is that while women may complain about the floor around the toilet, they don't make the men who are causing the issue to clean the floor around the toilet. Maybe if more men were forced to clean up after themselves they would learn to be a little more careful. Just doing it for them is another enabling behavior.
