Polishing your Granite Columns, Onyx-imbued Decorations and Furniture
If you are planning to polish your beloved pieces all by yourself, you should prepare the following materials:
- Chamois
- Lint-free cloths
- Shine-enhancing sealer
- Stone cleaners
What to do
- Make sure that the stone is clean. Use a stone cleaner which can be bought in spray bottles. Spray the cleaner directly on the surface and clean it well using a lint-free cloth.
- Make sure that your chamois is damp enough so it will properly buff the dull surfaces of your granite or marble. If the scratches are minor, a chamois should be able to brighten them up.
- For counter and tabletops, use sealer in order to restore the marble/granite’s shine. You can pour the sealer directly onto the surface, and buff it using a chamois. The shine-enhancing sealer will not only restore the glow of your marbles; it will also protect it from further damage.
As an owner of such valuable things, keep in mind that you should be able to counteract if something should happen. Minor issues can be easily resolved but if you need replacements or restorations, call a professional handler right away.
