If your marble surface has stains or scratches, these should be addressed before polishing to ensure a smooth and flawless finish.

To Remove Stains:

For light stains, mix baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply it to the stained area and leave it for 10-15 minutes before gently scrubbing with a soft brush or cloth.

For stubborn stains, a pumice stone can be used to gently rub the stain away. Be cautious not to scratch the surface.

To Fix Scratches:

If the scratches are deep, you may need to use diamond polishing pads to gradually smooth out the surface.

Begin with a coarse pad and move to finer ones until the surface is smooth.

Step 3: Apply Marble Polish
Once the surface is clean and free of stains, it’s time to apply a marble polish or marble polishing powder to restore the natural shine.

How to Apply Polish:

Apply a small amount of marble polish or powder onto the marble chips.

Use a soft cloth or a polishing pad to gently rub the polish into the surface in a circular motion.

Apply even pressure and ensure you cover all areas of the marble evenly.

If using an electric polisher, ensure you use it on the lowest setting to avoid damage to the marble.

Step 4: Buff the Surface
After applying the polish, you will need to buff the surface to bring out its shine.

Once the polish is applied, take a clean, soft microfiber cloth and start buffing the marble in circular motions.

Apply light to moderate pressure as you buff to ensure a glossy, even finish.

Keep buffing until the surface feels smooth and shiny to the touch.

Step 5: Seal the Marble (Optional)
