Cleaning Lysol Bleach Spots on Marble
by Faigie
QUESTION:lysol bleach was dripped on my white marble floor and there are dulled spots. Is there a cleaner I can use to restore the marble?ANSWER:Neither lysol nor bleach should be used for cleaning marble or even to clean things around marble. These products are too harsh and will damage marble as you have seen.The spots you see are chemical burns called "etching," which is a common marble maintenance issue. Fortunately, such spots can be repaired. On polished (shiny) marble use SCP: Marble Polishing Paste, which is made just for cleaning marble etch marks, works wonders and is easy to use. On honed (matte, non-reflective) marble you'll have to follow the instructions provided in the Removing Etch Marks ebook. Unfortunately, there isn't a product for removing etch marks on honed marble, but you can still get the job done cheaply and easily using the ebook procedure. Good Luck, Ryan P.S.
