Bleach/water to clean polished marble tiles on shower floor?
Comments (3)Use a ph neutral cleaner. I'll guarantee you that same tile store will be able to get you one from one of the sealer companies....See MoreCountertop Geology: Marble and quartzite and granite, oh my!
Comments (162)I am so confused and frazzled. Every time I think I have a handle on this durability and non porous thing, I choose a stone and after research find so many things potentially wrong with it. I saw a beautiful slab of Macaubus Fantasy, but have since seen mention that it will stain. I need something that is fairly indestructible. I live near the beach and have lots of company, but I am often away for a week at a time and not around to keep wiping the countertops. Even if I am home, I don't want to baby a countertop that will never grow up. Which of these stones should I stay away from and which are definitely good? Macaubus Fantasy "Quartzite" Allure Quartzite (does practicality increase/decrease if it's leathered?) River Blue Granite Or are my only sure choices Taj Mahal or Sea Pearl? I'd appreciate any feedback...See MoreHas anyone used ZEP Marble, Granite & Quartz Cleaner on marble?
Comments (0)We just installed a marble countertop in our bathroom and I posted this question in the Bathroom Forum and someone suggested I try the Kitchen Forum too. We are not sure what to clean it with that will be sanitary but will not etch it. Any experience with Zep or any other recommendations?...See Moremarble granite counter tops etching
Comments (5)Just a BIG word of warning here. Many of the chemicals mentioned are pretty toxic and dangerous to deal with. The methods discussed should only be utilized by a VERY DIY savvy homeowner who owns the proper personal protection to use such chemicals. MEK especially is pretty nasty and should be used only as a last resort by a pro. Many times the best option would be to relax, and enjoy the developing patina!...See MoreCloud Swift
