Carrera marble, renowned for its timeless beauty and subtle veining, is a popular choice for floors, countertops, and bathroom surfaces. To keep this natural stone looking its best, regular professional polishing is essential. Below are expert tips to achieve a flawless finish and maintain the marble’s luxurious appearance.
Carrera Marble: Preparation is Key
Before polishing, thoroughly clean the marble surface using a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive products, as these can etch or scratch the delicate stone. Remove any dust or debris to prevent scratching during the polishing process.
Choose the Right Polishing Products
Select a marble-specific polish or powder. These products are designed to enhance shine without damaging the stone. Avoid generic stone polishes, which may contain harsh chemicals unsuitable for Carrera marble.
Use Professional Tools
Employ a variable-speed polisher fitted with a soft pad, such as felt or microfibre. Start at a low speed and gradually increase if needed, ensuring even coverage. Work in small sections to maintain control and prevent overheating.
Polishing Technique
Apply the polish in a circular motion, overlapping each pass to avoid streaks. Do not rush—allow the product to work into the surface naturally. Buff until the desired sheen is achieved, then wipe away any residue with a clean, dry cloth.
Seal for Protection
Once polished, consider applying a penetrating sealer. This will help protect the marble from stains and moisture, prolonging the effects of your polishing efforts. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
Routine Maintenance
To preserve the marble’s shine, clean spills promptly and use coasters or mats under items. Regular dusting and gentle cleaning will keep the surface looking pristine between professional polishes.
With proper technique and suitable products, Carrera marble can retain its elegance for years. Consistent care and professional polishing ensure your marble surfaces remain a centrepiece in any setting. Contact MCS Stonecare to request a stone polishing quote today on 01279 866838.
