Slippery Marble Shower Floor

QUESTION:

The marble shower floor has become slippery, can this be fixed? Yes, it is definitely marble and not a laminate.

ANSWER:

Well, if it has "become" slippery then the only reason I can see why it would is a build-up of soap scum or some other film.

The marble itself will not become slippery. If anything it will become more rough and therefore less slippery with use.

I'm assuming that you clean it regularly or have cleaned it to try and solve this problem, however soap scum can be tenacious and may not even be that noticeable since it will cover the entire surface.

So, what I'd recommend is that you clean it with PRISTINE Soap Film Remover and a soft bristle brush. I'd bet that will solve the issue.

The only other solution if the marble itself is indeed slippery is to have the marble re-finished so it is more rough to provide better footing.
