Marble Bathroom Countertop Burns
QUESTION:there are burns in the countertop, that I would like to remove the burn spots. I have tried bleach and this did not work.. please help.ANSWER:Burns are physical damage to the marble countertop itself and not a stain that has absorbed into the pores.So, bleach (although also damaging to marble) can sometimes be helpful to remove discoloring from burn marks. Really, the best thing to do is to call a marble maintenance professional especially if you have multiple burns. You may have to re-finish the surface to completely remove them and that's not something you can do yourself. Now, if you are willing to possibly have less-than-perfect results, you can proceed with the methods outlined in the Removing Granite & Marble Stains ebook. The crux of the matter is that the burned/damaged marble must be removed and the damaged area restored so it matches the rest of the marble countertop. Many things about cleaning marble are easy and in many circumstances do-it-yourselfers can get satisfactory results by following the ebook techniques, but if damage is extensive or severe most often your only option is to call in a pro.
