New Jersey Marble Restoration

Marble has always been a stone prized for its aesthetic appeal. White marble has been used as an art form since classical times. Marble's low index of refraction is why many artists have preferred it for centuries. Marble allows light to penetrate into it before refracting, which is what gives marble that waxy “life” like look.
Because of marble's softness for a stone it is important to regularly clean it. Protecting it from scratches will make the stone last longer. Using coasters and mats on table tops will protect them from any kitchen appliances. Marble can stain very quickly and any spill should be wiped up immediately. Using a natural soap or marble cleaner will help you get rid of those tougher areas on your marble counter tops. Never use vinegar on marble, its acidity may cause the marble to corrode.

All of our expert stone care employees are friendly and courteous with years of experience and knowledge in removing the toughest stains and discolorations in marble.

Marble Cleaning in New Jersey

Marble floors and countertops look great in any home. Over time marble does lose it's luster though. These tips will help you maintain your marble's lustrous shine:
  • Protect your marble from scratches – Marble is a rather soft stone in comparison to other stones and will scratch easier than you think. If you have marble floors, place plastic pads on the bottoms of any furniture legs. This will prevent the furniture from gouging the marble. Use cutting boards on any marble countertop to prevent any damage.
  • Clean marble frequently – Despite being a stone, marble is very porous and stains settle very quickly. Clean up any spills immediately with a soft rag. For daily cleaning, use a rag dampened with warm water to clean any dust or small spills. Rub the marble in a circular motion. Scrubbing could lead to potential damage. Don't leave any pools of water on marble. Instead use a second dry cloth and pickup any residual water.
  • Deep Cleaning – Use a light dish soap, or a marble cleaner to clean any debris that has accumulated on your marble floors or countertop. Dilute the substance in a little warm water and use a soft cloth to clean it. DO NOT use vinegar to clean marble. It's high acidity can cause marble to corrode.

These general maintenance tips will help you maintain the appearance of your marble floors and countertops. If you are in need marble restoration in New Jersey, it is best to call a professional company.

The Basics of Marble Polishing

When you have marble installed in your home as a back splash, counter top or floor, you want to take some time to ensure that it looks its best. Aldayna Stone Care & Maintenance has been maintaining and polishing marble in North NJ with expert knowledge and the highest quality precision on the market, and our professionals want to publish a list of some basic information about why it is so important to have marble restoration in NJ.

Marble restoration is not done with chemicals such as bleach, but rather professional stone care experts use specially-made polish and finish to bring out the beauty of the stone as well as put down a protective layering that can defend against scrapes, spills and stains.

We never use sharp objects to restore marble. The process of buffing actually is closer to sweeping the top of the stone and brushing rapidly – to enhance the smoothness of the surface and get rid of detritus that is creating marks or scrapes. Buffing is done before the polish is applied.


While it is always recommended to clean your marble frequently and regularly, it is also suggested that you look into having a professional marble polishing NJ company such as Aldayna Stone Care & Maintenance come to perform a high-quality polishing job around once a year or as needed.

The Art of Marble Restoration in NJ

Whether we are talking about the Washington Monument or your kitchen countertops, marble requires some maintenance to look its best. A recent story out of Bristol, Virginia describes a marble restorer going over the painstaking task of rejuvenating a 90-year-old statue to look like new using natural tools and compounds, spending painstaking hours over every precious detail. Marble is special because of its durability, appeal and worth, and when you need marble restoration to last you should always rely on the experts.

A mixture of baking soda and water is an easy household trick you can use to polish marble spots and restore the sheen to your marble that you want, and by taking some time every once in a while to keep your natural stone looking good you will forego the need for any sort of lengthy marble restoration in NJ. It is unlikely your marble will ever take as long as the statue in Virginia is taking to be restored, but it can still be a lengthy process if you have not been diligent with your upkeep.
