Marble Floor Cleaning & Polishing in Dublin

Marble is a soft, calcium-based stone. Grit walked in from outside scratches it, acidic spills such as wine, citrus, coffee and everyday cleaning products etch it, and years of foot traffic leave dull grey lanes through the busiest parts of the room. No cleaning product fixes this, because the damage is in the stone itself rather than on top of it.

Marble can look dull because of surface dirt, wear or etching, and each needs a different approach. Cleaning removes dirt and residue, while polishing restores the finish itself. For a marble floor in Dublin, send a few photos and your area so Aaron can look at its condition and advise the next step.

A lot of the marble we're called to needs a proper deep clean before anything else. Years of ingrained dirt worked into the pores of the stone, old wax and 'marble polish' coatings that have yellowed, grout haze left behind after tiling, or a floor that has only ever seen a mop — a deep marble cleaning strips that residue back and lifts the dirt out of the stone. Where the surface underneath is scratched or dull, the deep clean flows straight into the honing and polishing stages. Many floors need both, and we assess every floor and do only what it actually needs.

Our polishing process removes the damaged layer. We work through a sequence of modern techniques, each finer than the last, flattening out scratches and etch marks. Once the surface is ready, we use Faber polishing cream and suitable pads to bring up the final shine.

Because the finish comes from the stone itself and not from a coating, it will not peel, yellow or wear off in patches the way a topical polish does. The veining, depth and colour of the marble come back into view — bright and reflective in a hall, softer satin in a bathroom, or a flat honed matt where a modern look is wanted.

We use a wet process to keep dust down and extract the slurry as we work. Access and drying times are agreed for the job, including any curing time if you choose sealing.
