PROBLEM: ETCHES
SOLUTION: Marble Polishing
Powder
Those annoying dull spots that seem to appear whenever the sun hits your stone just right! Sometimes they appear as whitish looking blobs and
other times they look like rings or water marks.
One thing that's for sure is etches are ALWAYS lighter than the surrounding stone. This
marble polish is quick & easy to use. Plus, no power tools
needed! Or, buy the complete marble repair kit and save a little
money.
PROBLEM: MOLD & MILDEW STAINS
SOLUTION: Mold & Mildew Remover
It's gross, it's embarrassing and sometimes it's really stinky! I was always led to believe that mildew and mold = dirty and unkempt. Well,
this isn't exactly true. Mold and mildew usually signifies some type of moisture problem.
This product WILL clean up the mold & mildew as well
as that smell but it won't solve any long term moisture problems.
Simple Solutions To Help Curb Excess Moisture:
- Run that bathroom fan before, during AND after showering or bathing!
- No fan in your bathroom? Open the shower curtain, the door AND the window to let all of that moisture escape!
- Use a squeegee before, during AND after showering or bathing.
- Check your grout. Any missing? Regrout!
- What about the silicone? Is it in good shape or pulling up? Replace it! It's only a couple of
bucks to fix this one.
PROBLEM: OILY STAINS?
SOLUTION: Poultice
Forget to
seal your stone? Or did you take your time wiping up that melted butter? Regardless, those dark spots are enough to drive anyone nuts.
Most stains can be removed by you with a poultice.
It's actually possible to make a poultice from stuff you have at home BUT why go through all of the guessing and the hassle when you can
buy this one?

PROBLEM: SCRATCHES
SOLUTION: I've got a couple! ;-)
The BEST and the CORRECT way to repair marble, granite & stone scratches is to hire a stone pro
to come in and polish them out.
But I do understand that sometimes the cost is too much to validate. Always call to find out how much it will cost
before trying the stuff below - you might be pleasantly surprised!
- The enhancer works great to camouflage scratches - especially slate
or rough finished stone. The GOOD? Quick & Inexpensive. The BAD? It changes the look of your stone and
you will have to apply the enhancer to the entire stone.
How to know FOR SURE if it will work: Get the 'scratched area of your stone wet with plain water. Scratch disappear?
If so, and if you like how the stone looks wet, this one will work for
you!
- Permanent Marker - This one can be a little tricky. With black stones - color in the scratch with a black permanent marker and then wipe
off any excess using rubbing alcohol.
For colored stones, DO NOT just draw a straight line with a black marker! It will look like you took a black marker and
drew a line on the stone. Get a little artsy... grab a couple of different colored markers and DAB! It will look more natural.
The problem with the above TWO solutions is this:
Run your hand across the stone. You will still feel any deep scratches. You're not actually fixing the scratches - you're just camouflaging
them. Technically not stone, granite or marble repair solutions. But, they work.
Last but not least, go to Amazon.com and buy the scratch repair kit
. This easy to use kit has everything you need. Great product at a great price!
PROBLEM: SOAP SCUM
SOLUTION: Soap Film Remover
Are your
shower walls dull and dirty looking? Shine looks like it was walked off but there's NO WAY you've been walking up & down those walls!!!
Take your fingernail and scrape. Waxy like substance come up? You've GOT soap scum. Get rid of it for good with this
concentrated cutie!
Use it FULL STRENGTH for those hard to get rid of mineral deposits OR add hot water to make it go a little further.
Dilution recommendations are on the bottle! Safe for ALL your stones - even the delicate ones!
PROBLEM: WORN OUT LOOKING TOPS
SOLUTION: Countertop Polish
Countertops
showing their age? Here's an easy way to add a little pep and get that high gloss shine back! Give your tops a much needed face lift over
your lunch hour and restore those weathered or worn down surfaces to like new
condition!
It's quick, it's easy and it's relatively inexpensive. Not for use on floor - they'll be way TOO slippery. Perfect for many other surfaces
including countertops, fireplaces, vanities, sinks, shower walls AND shelves.
