This guide explains the benefits of marble polishing, the polishing process, maintenance tips, cost considerations, and why professional services are the safest and most effective option in Singapore.
Why Marble Polishing Is Important
Marble is naturally soft and porous, making it prone to:
- Scratches from shoes or furniture
- Water stains or mineral deposits
- Dullness due to improper cleaning or chemical exposure
- Etching from acidic spills like lemon juice or vinegar
Professional polishing addresses these issues and offers:
1. Restored Shine
Marble polishing removes surface scratches and minor imperfections, restoring a reflective, glossy finish that enhances any interior space.
2. Smooth Surface
Polishing removes unevenness and micro-cracks, creating a uniform and safe walking surface.
3. Enhanced Durability
Polished marble is less likely to chip or absorb stains, prolonging the lifespan of your floors and surfaces.
4. Hygiene Improvement
Smooth, polished surfaces are easier to clean and less prone to bacterial growth.
5. Property Value Enhancement
Well-maintained marble elevates property aesthetics and can increase resale or rental value in Singapore’s competitive property market.
