Understanding Marble Finish And The Role Of Polish
Choosing A Marble-Safe Polish
- pH range: Aim for pH-neutral to mildly alkaline polishes to minimize etching.
- Finish goal: For high-traffic areas, select a polish that delivers durable gloss without sticky residue.
- Sealer status: If the marble is sealed, ensure the polish is compatible with the existing sealer to avoid film build-up.
- Environmental safety: Many American products offer low-VOC formulas, which are better for indoor air quality.
