How to Repair Etched Marble with ESP Stone Care Marble Etch Remover
Marble is a stunning and timeless material, but it’s also prone to a common issue—etching. If you’ve noticed dull, cloudy spots on your marble surface, chances are it’s etched. The good news is that you can restore its beauty with ESP Stone Care Marble Etch Remover, specially formulated for small to medium etch marks.
What Causes Marble Etching?
Etching occurs when acidic substances—such as lemon juice, vinegar, wine, or even some cleaning products—come into contact with your marble. These acids react with the calcium carbonate in marble, eroding its surface and leaving behind dull or rough patches. Unlike stains, which penetrate the stone, etches physically alter the surface texture.
Fixing Etched Marble with ESP Stone Care Marble Etch Remover
ESP Stone Care Marble Etch Remover is designed to restore lightly etched marble surfaces without professional intervention. However, it works only on small to medium etches—if your marble has deep damage or extensive etching, you may need professional refinishing.
Steps to Repair Etched Marble:
- Clean the Surface: Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Avoid acidic cleaners.
- Apply the Etch Remover: Using a soft cloth, gently rub a small amount of ESP Stone Care Marble Etch Remover onto the etched area in a circular motion.
- Polish the Spot: Continue buffing until the etch disappears and the marble regains its shine.
- Wipe Away Residue: Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess product.
- Seal and Protect: To prevent future etching, consider applying a marble sealer and avoid acidic spills.
Preventing Future Etching
To keep your marble pristine, follow these simple precautions:
✔ Use pH-neutral cleaners—Avoid vinegar-based solutions or acidic chemicals.
✔ Wipe spills immediately—Especially acidic liquids like citrus or coffee.
✔ Use coasters and placemats—Protect your marble from everyday exposure to acidity.
ESP Stone Care Marble Etch Remover is an easy-to-use solution for small to medium etches, helping you maintain your marble’s elegance without costly restoration services. If your marble shows severe damage, consulting a stone care professional may be the best option.
