Some marble and granite installations
require complex restoration and maintenance techniques. An example
is this 'agglomerate' style patchwork floor Sungloss maintains for
a downtown Chicago client.

| Household cleaners and sprays have damaged this black marble shower. Marble should be cleaned
with a neutral (non-ionic) stone soap, preferably a 'rinseless' variety,
with clean cotton rags or white nylon cleaning pads. Dish soap and
cool water, with a rinse and buff is an alternative. Plain water is
not recommended for cleaning any stone. |
A stunning combination of white marble
and black granite make this floor a beauty to behold—and somewhat
of a challenge to maintain. Different procedures are needed for granite
and marble refinishing. |
This limestone floor was improperly sealed
by the installer causing ugly streaks. Sungloss subsequently stripped
the sealer, deep cleaned the floor and then resealed it properly. |
This Mexican terra cotta floor was restored
by deep cleaning first and then applying a top coat seal to bring back
the shine of the worn-off glaze. |
