This Vanity in Brentwood Has a Gorgeous Glow Thanks to Our Stone Polishing Experts

May 06, 2025

A homeowner in Brentwood, TN, knew that stone surfaces need constant care to keep their brand-new glow. That's why she was always mindful of the products she used on her limestone vanity, making sure to avoid using harsh cleaners on the brown surface. Still, stone surfaces can't withstand the effects of wear and tear forever, especially in a high-traffic area like the owner's master bathroom. The limestone surface started looking worn after a while and no amount of scrubbing could restore its former smoothness.


Fortunately, the owner already knew about Sir Grout Nashville and had even seen the results of our restoration methods first-hand. That's why she immediately saw the signs that the vanity required our professional stone polishing service in Brentwood, TN, so she looked for our website online and got in touch with us via the contact form.

At her convenience, our experts arrived at her house a few days later for an in-home evaluation and the owner showed us the vanity right away. It was obvious that she kept up with the stone's maintenance since there were no traces of embedded dirt in areas like the seams and the stone around the sink. Despite that, we could see traces of residue from other cleaners, along with several etch marks that spread all over the flat surface. The result was a worn-down look that concealed the limestone's beauty, giving the vanity a dull, forgettable appearance.

Our techs immediately offered to hone and polish the stone, and the homeowner carefully assessed our no-obligation quote before agreeing to the plan, thanking us for all our assistance during the evaluation.

On the agreed-upon date, we came back to the house and immediately readied our equipment while also placing masking tape and clear plastic around the vanity top. To clean the flat surface, we used a permeating formula that's fully safe to use on limestone and other natural stone surfaces. Our techs got rid of any residue left by moisture or soap-based cleaners, ensuring that nothing remained on the vanity when it was time to polish the stone.

Next, our experts used three sets of diamond pads to remove all the etch marks on the limestone. We increased the level of grit as the imperfections faded from the surface, eventually leaving the entire vanity with a nice matte finish. This was our cue to apply special polishing powders to complete the job and restore the stone's natural sheen.

Our specialists completed the process by applying a stone-safe sealant on the vanity to protect the porous surface from the effects of wear and tear. It would keep its brand-new look for much longer without collecting stains or etch marks after weeks of regular household activities.

The client and her family were ecstatic with the result; the newly-restored vanity looked gorgeous, and the details on the stone had never looked more vivid. She thanked our techs for their hard work and promised to recommend our services to more people in Brentwood.

Before ending the appointment, our experts shared some useful pointers with the client since she was interested in replacing the cleaners she'd been using up to that point. We started by recommending pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, listing all the advantages that put these products far above traditional solutions, like bleach, soap-based products, and homemade cleaners. In minutes, our high-end formula removes dozens of stains so it's the best way to clean large surfaces and high-traffic areas. It also works without altering the color of natural stone surfaces because there is no exposure to harsh ingredients, so you can also preserve the sealant's protection for much longer

It's also important to avoid sharp tools when wiping out the dirt because could leave scratch marks on the stone, even if you don't scrub too hard. Our techs recommended wiping the vanity with a towel or a terry cloth after letting the cleaner sit on the surface for a few minutes. This approach of combining pH-neutral products with non-abrasive tools is often enough to optimize your cleaning results and it rules out all the risks of using chemical ingredients in your bathroom area.

Our last tip was to ensure that all bathroom surfaces got enough fresh air to prevent the effects of moisture buildup. It isn't always easy to stop the spread of mold and mildew in a room that's poorly ventilated for most of the day. That's why it never hurts to open the windows and doors as a way to encourage better air quality indoors.
