Stained grout and tile not only are frusother accidents are dissolved into the mop water and allowed to soak into the grout with each pass of the mop. You want to do more than make your floor look better. Removing surface oils and dirt is simply the first step to addressing the root cause to dull and dingy tile. Solving the problem means restoring a new, uniform color appearance for tile and grout, and guaranteeing a healthier floor. Marblelife restores that clean gloss appearance with an inorganic surface treatment that will not harbor mold or mildew and provides a further layer of protection across your grout lines.

STONE FLOORS NEED PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Marble, granite, terrazzo, limestone, travertine and other natural stone are luxurious architectural elements. These quality materials provide refined surfaces for your home, whether in the foyer, living room, kitchen, bathroom or fireplace. But homeowners can diminish the natural beauty of these surfaces by failing to properly maintain them. Natural stone is a strong and durable material. However, it’s not indestructible. It is still susceptible to stains, spills and damages from everyday occurrences like steady foot traffic and even the use of inappropriate cleaning products. A little pebble caught in a guest’s shoe sole can cause scratches all over the floor. The good news is that when marble and other natural stone surfaces are scratched or stained, they can regain their natural lustrous appearance with professional cleaning, restoration and protection. Whether it’s a marble or granite floor cleaning or shower, vanity or countertop restoration, with proper care and maintenance, the potential for future damage can be minimized.

WOOD FLOORS CAN LOOK LIKE NEW

Wood floors can be restored, whatever the issues are. Dull floors with no scratches may have wax buildup, trapping dirt and yellowing over time. Wax can be removed with a professional cleaning. If the floors are just lightly worn, with wear within the protective finish, floors can be screened and re-coated, in most cases in one day. Damaged, heavily worn or deeply scratched floors call for full sanding, re-staining and re-sealing. This is a multi-day process, as the stain must dry before the first seal coat can be applied. Regardless of what problems you may encounter with your concrete, tile, stone or wood floor surfaces, there is a solution.
