The Problem: Marble Etch Marks

 Marble is made up of calcium carbonate which violently reacts with any acidic agent. So unfortunately, when acids touch marble , the acids almost instantly create light dull marks called etch marks in a matter of seconds. 

Etch marks typically show up as light dull marks because when the acid reacts with the marble surface it physically dissolves part of the top surface of the marble. Once part of the marble is dissolved, marble below the surface is exposed. This newly exposed marble is not polished and therefore looks dull compared to its great looking polished surroundings. Examples of these etch marks are shown below.

A couple of key tips from this video:

1. D​o not put to much polishing powder over the mark. It makes the process easier to manage, and if the marble etch mark is not removed on the first try then you can always repeat the process. 

2. Be sure to use a white towel! This will prevent any pigments from the towel from entering or staining the marble while you are polishing away the stain. 

3. Be sure to wet the white towel as well as the marble polishing powder.

4. With your white towel, rub softly in circular motions. Do not use a lot of pressure, rub at high frequency in a nice circular motion. 

5. Once you are finished, clean up using a marble cleaner to make the marble look even better.

In about 15 or 20 seconds, this well designed marble polish has the stone looking brand new.

Does MB11 works on Granite ?

    Hey Paul, thanks for your comment. MB-11 is really designed to remove etch marks that are unique to marble. Etch marks occur when acids come in contact with marble, and the acid reacts with the marble’s surface dissolving parts of the marble leaving behind dull marks. Etching in this manner is unique to marble (or other calcite based stone like travertine), and MB-11 is specifically designed to solve this problem so I do not think MB11 is what you need for granite.
    What specific problems are you having with your granite? If you are having dark or dull spots it could be a staining issue that can be fixed with a poultice which will draw the stains out of the pours of your granite.
