The Problem
Dull, scratched marble floors are a common sight in Chicago's historic and luxury properties. Over time, foot traffic and improper cleaners etch the surface, stripping away the natural luster and leaving a cloudy finish. This haze isn't just dirt; it is physical damage to the stone's surface that hides its true color and brilliance.
Our Process
Granite Heroes utilizes a multi-step diamond abrasive honing process to remove the damaged top layer of the stone. We don't use cheap coatings or waxes that peel over time. Instead, we mechanically grind the marble to reveal a fresh, untouched layer before polishing it to your desired level of reflectivity.
Why It Works
By using professional-grade planetary floor machines and fine-grit diamond pads, we smooth the stone at a microscopic level. This allow light to reflect perfectly off the floor rather than scattering, which creates that signature 'wet look' shine. Our owner-operated team ensures every corner of your Chicagoland property receives expert attention.
Materials & Care
- Avoid using acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon juice on marble.
- Always use a pH-neutral stone cleaner to maintain the polished finish.
- Dust mop floors daily to prevent grit from scratching the surface.
- Address spills immediately to prevent deep staining in porous stone.
- Schedule professional deep cleaning once every 12 to 18 months.
