Our Techs Show All Their Stone Polishing Skills on a Marble Counter in Nolensville

April 11, 2024

A counter is often seen as the centerpiece where a kitchen ensemble comes together, and that was just the case for this beautiful stone counter in Nolensville, TN. Made of marble, the surface's pattern was dazzling and mesmerizing in equal measure. The homeowner couldn't have it looking shabby, so she never let any stains linger on the counter for long.


With all that care, it's no wonder that the homeowner didn't miss the first few scratch marks on the stone. Guests might overlook the signs of etching on such a lavish surface, but she knew that only a thorough honing and polishing would make the marble truly shine. So, the homeowner contacted our stone polishing services in Nolensville, TN, right after she found Sir Grout Nashville online. She was always careful around her natural stone surfaces and expected no different from our experts.

On the scheduled date, our specialists visited the house for an in-home evaluation and the client led them to the kitchen area. While they could appreciate the marble's beauty at a glance, the surface looked slightly roughened by the elements. The homeowner had done her best to alleviate the problem, but our techs could see that only a professional honing and polishing service could fully restore the counter's shine. They explained that marble surfaces can gradually lose their charm to moisture, high traffic, and regular wear and tear. Traditional cleaners did little to prevent the appearance of etch marks, which is why the marble lacked smoothness and the colors looked slightly muted, even under the bright lights in the kitchen area.


Our techs shared all these findings with the homeowner and she was happy to have all her theories confirmed. After asking some questions about our stone honing and polishing services, she gladly scheduled a new appointment to have our experts work on the countertop.

The restoration date came only two days later, and our crew was back at the client's house right on schedule. They started by preparing the marble surface and soaking the countertop with a stone-safe cleaner to remove any traces of dirt. Our special cleaning formula ensures that no leftover stains remain on the surface without subjecting it to harsh ingredients and chemicals.

To hone the countertop, our specialists used three sets of diamond pads, each with a specific level of grit. They ran the pads on the surface multiple times, increasing the grit as the etch marks gradually disappeared from the stone. When the marble had a matte finish, they switched to high-end polishing powders to ensure that the surface regained all its natural shine.

Last but not least, our techs applied stone sealant on every inch of the marble countertop. Our sealant protects delicate stone surfaces against the damage left by spills, scratches, dirt, and wear and tear. It's the ideal way to preserve a marble counter so that it keeps shining during the most hectic times of the day.

The restoration was a success. Our hard surface professionals showed their skills and attention to detail while bringing the stone to its former beauty. The homeowner loved the results and promised to tell everyone in Nolensville, TN, about the quality of our services.

Our techs had some useful tips to share at the end of the appointment. Stone surfaces aren't impervious to damage, and a kitchen counter is exposed to countless elements throughout the day. To clean stains more effectively, our specialists recommend using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. It's not rare for soap-bleach cleaners to leave marks behind, creating a small window of time for the stone to look dull and worn down. Our product provides maximum cleaning power to keep the stains from multiplying. Moreover, homeowners no longer have to worry about discoloring their marble surfaces over time because our product combines the best ingredients to preserve its natural beauty.

When it comes to cleaning tools, our experts recommend using a clean towel or a terry cloth to wipe out all kinds of stains, from sudden spills to older marks that leave the surface sticky over time. A steel wool will not be as effective and it's likely to scratch the stone, even when you don't scrub too hard. Our last recommendation is to ensure that the room is well ventilated. Homeowners can upgrade their ventilation system or open the windows to keep the fresh air circulating in different parts of the house.
