Stone & Marble

Q: Why does marble look cloudy or dull even after cleaning?

Cloudiness is usually etching or a worn sealant rather than dirt, caused by acidic cleaners, hard-water minerals, or foot traffic. Professional diamond polishing and resealing restores the shine, whereas everyday mopping cannot.

Q: Does marble need sealing in Dubai's climate?

Yes. Marble is porous, so periodic sealing helps it resist stains, hard-water marks, and moisture. Combined with occasional polishing, sealing keeps stone surfaces looking new for far longer.
