Does baking soda shine marble?

• <div><p>Yes, baking soda does shine marble. Sprinkle it directly on the marble and let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe it clean with a damp microfiber cloth. If you’d like to make a baking soda paste, then simply mix the baking soda with equal parts water and apply it. You can also add baking soda and dishwashing liquid to a bucket of warm water and mop a marble surface.</p></div>

What can damage granite countertops?

• <div><p>Acid can seriously damage granite countertops and lead to etching and erosion. This is why cleaning with vinegar isn’t recommended. Other acidic items that you should keep away from your granite countertops include:</p><ul><li><p>Citrus</p></li><li><p>Acetone nail polish remover</p></li><li><p>Tomatoes</p></li><li><p>Ammonia</p></li></ul><p>In addition, always steer clear of using bleach on or around your granite as it will degrade the countertop’s sealant quickly.</p></div>

Q: Can I restore or polish stone surfaces myself?

• <div><p>While minor polishing can be done DIY, larger projects benefit from professional expertise to achieve a high-quality finish and ensure the work's durability.</p></div>

Q: Is marble or granite better?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/marble-vs-granite.htm">Granite and marble compare</a> well against each other in terms of price, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Deciding which one is better depends on your personal style and preference. Both materials resist damage like chips and cracks well. You should seal both material types against staining and etching, but they&rsquo;re still susceptible if oil, wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or juice are left on the countertop long enough. As material and installation costs range similarly, the deciding factor is your budget, design, and preferences.</p></div>

Q: How often does granite need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Granite should be resealed every 12 to 18 months, depending on the color and usage. Lighter granite needs to be resealed more frequently than darker colors. If you use acidic cleaners or prepare food on the surface regularly, you must reseal the surface more frequently. Without proper sealing, granite is vulnerable to staining. You can tell if your countertop needs to be resealed by placing a wet paper towel on the counter for 10 minutes. If the water beads up, it is still sufficiently sealed; if it sinks in, it&rsquo;s time to apply sealant.</p></div>

We had a complete bathroom remodel and were very happy with the results. It took the two guys who showed up about an hour to demo everything which amazed me. Once everything was out they worked quickly and cleanly (everything was cleaned and put away each time they left for the day). One...

Highly recommend not using Lynn for any shower tile work. I paid him $3,400 in materials and labor for a tile shower job. Beautiful materials, but put together with the utmost care. So many of the tiles are not lined up. They’re either sunken in or sticking out from the next tile. He didn’t even...

I love going to Sass for my manicures and pedicures. Kelly is the absolute best. She's very careful and detailed and is so pleasant to talk to! Also my polish lasts longer than it ever has from any other salon.
