Marble Shower Cleaning 101: Hire a Tile Cleaning Service in Torrance

Restore your Marble Shower | (310) 545-8750

How do  you clean a marble shower?  Well, in a word: carefully.  And we can't stress that enough...

Is it Hard to Clean a Marble Shower?

Marble is a beautiful stone.  It is fossilized limestone, and it comes in almost every color of the rainbow.  It is elegant, but it is also susceptible to damage if you don't know what you're doing.  Another problem that you can encounter when you try to clean a marble shower is that if you don't apply some sort of coating on the marble, the grout between the tile will likely become stained quickly.  In addition, marble that hasn't been coated can be extremely slippery and be a potential household accident.
That's where a commercial stone restoration service in Torrance can be of a great deal of use.  They can apply a penetrating sealer that will not only seep into the pores of the stone as well as the grout, but it may help to prevent slipping as a result.  Another reason you want to get stone sealing is that it can help to repel stains as well as moisture.

Stone Cleaning Is Best Left to The Pros

It's almost spring.  And you probably want to do some spring cleaning, including your marble shower.  So you reach for the ammonia and the bleach, and prepare to clean, right?  Wrong.  If you use bleach and/or ammonia on marble, you will soon have stone that is crumbled and eroded.  As we covered in a previous article, anything acidic can have a detrimental effect on marble or any calcium-based stone.
You might not know it, but a shower is actually quite an extreme environment.  It has wide differences in temperature as well as moisture.  As a result, when combined with soaps, shampoos, and cleaning agents, soon your stone will look dingy,  or worse, look like it's starting to crumble.  And that is probably because it is starting to crumble.  Yet another reason for professional marble cleaning.
Good marble is expensive.  With that in mind, why would you risk your investment in your marble shower by trying to do it yourself?  Want another reason?  Some of the advice you get online is terrible.  A prominent home improvement blogger recommends a good scrub with vinegar and water.  Slight problem.  Vinegar is highly acidic, so any cleaning benefits it may have are pretty much negated by the damage it will do to your stone.
So don't regret the way you chose to clean your marble shower.  Hire a stone cleaning and restoration service in Torrance instead.

How Do I Find a Qualified Stone Restoration Service?

It often gets confusing for most people to select one company since there are many companies in the tile cleaning domain. The best way to select a good tile cleaning service is to look online for reviews about various companies. There are many websites on the internet that provide unbiased reviews about cleaning companies, and a Google or Yahoo search will help you find these reviews. The other way to search for a good cleaning company is to ask your friend and neighbors that have clean houses. Most often than not these people opt for professional services to get their house cleaned.
Good tile cleaning companies also provide tips on maintaining your floor after they have been cleaned. It is important to remember that the good tile cleaning companies will not try to sell you unnecessary products or force you to take cleaning services that you do not require.
Before registering with any cleaning service, you should also ask questions and try to determine if the cleaning company is interested in helping you out or if they are only interested in your money. Most companies that are interested in expanding their customer base will be glad to answer a few questions to show you that they care. It is always better to opt for a cleaning company that is ready to help you out with your queries.
The price for cleaning your tiles will depend largely on the types of tiles you have, the size of the tiles and the number of tiles that have to be cleaned. Many companies offer discounts and promotions to people who contact them online, and most companies offer discounts during the holiday season. You should always remember that tile cleaning and grout cleaning usually share similar cleaning concepts.
If you want to have clean grout and tile, but you do not have time or energy to clean floors by yourself, then you should consider opting for a reliable and credible cleaning service that will get the job perfectly done for you.
