Defects in the stone

ACTIONS LEADING TO THE OCCURRENCE OF DEFECTS ON THE STONE:

  • stains on marble are formed from the ingress of coloring, fat- and acid-containing substances onto the surface;
  • scratches and chips occur due to mechanical damage (cleaning with too coarse abrasives, scratching with a knife or metal scraper, falling heavy objects);
  • surface tarnishing often appears due to improper care, for example: cleaning with aggressive chemicals, and not rinsing with clean water after treatment;

If defects are nevertheless formed, then it is quite difficult to eliminate them at the household level. Correct restoration of the stone surface requires restoration experience and professional tools.
