Apr 28, 2024

The simple elegance, noble temperament, softness and delicacy of white marble are really addictive, and the decorative effect is even better, it is simply wonderful. Its mild tones, white snow, and pure beauty like snowflakes have allowed many designers to make full use of and display it.


But at the same time, it is also the most loved and feared variety due to white marble is pretentious, fragile, and difficult to serve in terms of stain resistance, which makes some users regret it. In particular, the fact that white marble is easy to turn rust makes many people afraid of it.


Yellowing of white marble caused by external reasons can be prevented through reasonable use and maintenance.

For example, place a fiber carpet at the entrance to remove shoe sole sand or other hard particles before entering the marble paving area to reduce the wear and tear of foreign hard particles on the stone surface.



The mop used to clean the floor must be kept clean, and the water used to mop the floor must be clean. After mopping the floor, wipe the water on the ground clean, and use dry mopping as much as possible and less wet mopping. If possible, it is best to use marble cleaning fluid for maintenance.


Floor waxing has proven to be a marble slab maintenance method that does more harm than good. On the one hand the luster of the floor polished with wax does not last long. On the other hand, most of the wax blocks the ventilation pores of the stone, blocking the normal gas passage of the marble that adjusts with the climate.

When the accumulated wax layer turns yellow due to aging and needs to be removed, a wax remover must be used. The use of wax remover will seriously affect the indoor air quality. Crystal surface treatment is a commonly used polishing treatment for marble floors. Choosing the correct crystal surface agent can make the surface of the treated stone obtain a dense and bright film that does not affect the breathability of the stone.

However, when performing crystal surface treatment, such as polishing with steel wool, the spilled fine steel wool powder must be sucked up with a vacuum cleaner. Because any fine steel wool powder remaining on the ground may become a source of yellowing pollution on the board surface.


Effectively preventing white marble from yellowing should be a comprehensive measure. When there is no effective waterproofing treatment on the cement floor or wall, the treatment of the back of the stone is particularly important.


Choosing quality-assured waterproof adhesive to waterproof is the most important step among all measures.


The way to deal with yellowing caused by the internal components of stone - Use rust remover is the most useful way.


When removing yellowing, remember to stick several layers of tissue on the surface of the stone, and then pour the rust remover onto the paper. Wait for about two hours and the yellow color will gradually decrease. After a few times, the yellow color can be removed.


Professional stone caregivers generally use very weak or even neutral cleaning agents to minimize damage to the stone.


For stubborn rust spots, you can use the paste method - Mix the rust remover and diatomaceous earth with water to make a paste then apply the paste on the rust spots, cover it with a plastic film and seal the surrounding area with self-adhesive tape.


Remove the dried paste after 24 hours, use a special cleaning agent to collect the dissolved rust.


This above last step is very important, because during the rust removal process, iron ions will diffuse on the surface, if these iron ions diffused on the surface and not be collected, secondary yellowing will occur quickly and the area will be larger. wide.


You can also remove yellowing at home (as shown in the picture below)
