Your marble shower walls and backsplashes get genuinely clean—not just surface clean. We eliminate the bacteria and mold that regular cleaning misses, the kind that grows in microscopic pores and grout lines.
You get sanitized surfaces without the chemical residue that builds up over time. No more wondering if your cleaning routine is actually working, or if you’re slowly damaging expensive marble with the wrong products.
The difference shows immediately. Your marble looks brighter, feels cleaner, and stays that way longer because we’re addressing the root cause, not just wiping away what you can see.
We’ve been owner-operated in Long Island for over 25 years. We’re not a cleaning company that dabbles in stone—we’re stone restoration specialists who understand exactly what your East Hampton marble needs.
The Garden City Hotel has used our services exclusively for more than 16 years. That’s the kind of relationship you build when you consistently deliver results without surprises or shortcuts.
East Hampton’s historic properties, many built before 1939, require someone who understands both old-world craftsmanship and modern restoration techniques. We’ve worked on century-old floors and marble installations that other companies won’t touch.
First, we assess your marble and identify any existing damage or areas that need special attention. Not all marble responds the same way to steam cleaning, and we adjust our approach based on your specific stone type and condition.
We use controlled-temperature steam that’s hot enough to eliminate bacteria and dissolve buildup, but not so hot that it causes thermal expansion or damages your stone. Most residential steam cleaners reach dangerous temperatures that can crack or discolor marble.
After steam cleaning, we address the grout lines separately. Grout harbors bacteria and can deteriorate if not properly maintained. We clean, repair if needed, and reseal to prevent future moisture problems and mold growth.
Ready to get started?
You get professional-grade steam cleaning that’s specifically designed for natural stone. We bring our own equipment—not the consumer-grade steamers that can damage marble, but commercial units with precise temperature controls.
Every job includes grout inspection and cleaning. In East Hampton’s humid coastal environment, grout lines are especially vulnerable to mold and deterioration. We address these problem areas before they become expensive repairs.
We also provide honest assessment of your marble’s condition. If we spot etching, staining, or other damage during the cleaning process, we’ll explain what it is, what caused it, and what your options are. No surprises, no upselling—just straightforward information so you can make informed decisions.
Steam cleaning can be safe for marble when done correctly with professional equipment, but most consumer steam cleaners are dangerous for natural stone. Home steam cleaners often reach temperatures over 250°F, which causes thermal expansion and can crack or discolor marble.
We use commercial-grade equipment with precise temperature controls that clean effectively without damaging your stone. The key is using the right temperature—hot enough to eliminate bacteria and dissolve soap scum, but not so hot that it causes thermal stress to the marble.
Many cleaning companies use standard steam cleaners without understanding how heat affects different types of natural stone. This is why you see so many marble surfaces that look dull or damaged after “professional” cleaning.
Most marble backsplashes benefit from professional steam cleaning once or twice per year, depending on use and the type of cooking you do. Kitchen environments are particularly challenging for marble because of grease, heat, and acidic substances that can etch the surface.
Daily maintenance with pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners will extend the time between professional cleanings. But steam cleaning reaches the microscopic pores where bacteria and grease accumulate—areas that regular cleaning can’t address effectively.
If you notice your marble looking dull despite regular cleaning, or if grout lines are darkening, it’s time for professional steam cleaning. Waiting too long means more intensive restoration work later, which costs significantly more than preventive maintenance.
Regular cleaning removes surface dirt and visible buildup, but steam cleaning eliminates bacteria, mold, and contaminants that have penetrated into the stone’s pores. Marble is naturally porous, so regular mopping only addresses what you can see.
Steam cleaning also sanitizes without chemical residue. Many marble cleaners leave behind traces that can build up over time and actually attract more dirt. Professional steam cleaning eliminates this cycle entirely.
The results are immediately visible—marble looks brighter and stays cleaner longer because we’ve addressed the underlying contamination, not just the surface symptoms. It’s the difference between treating the cause and treating the effect.
Professional steam cleaning is excellent for removing soap scum and mineral deposits that build up on marble shower walls. The controlled heat dissolves these deposits without the harsh scrubbing that can scratch marble surfaces.
Water spots are often a combination of mineral deposits and soap residue that regular cleaning can’t fully remove. Steam cleaning breaks down these compounds and eliminates them completely, restoring the natural appearance of your marble.
However, if water spots have caused etching (actual damage to the marble surface), steam cleaning alone won’t fix that. Etching requires professional restoration techniques to repair the damaged stone. We’ll identify the difference during our assessment and explain your options.
If your marble still looks dirty after professional cleaning, you likely hired a company that doesn’t specialize in natural stone. Many cleaning companies use the same methods for marble that they use for ceramic tile, which doesn’t work.
Marble requires specific pH-neutral cleaners and techniques. Using the wrong products or methods can actually make marble look worse by leaving residue or causing micro-scratches that trap more dirt. Some companies use acidic cleaners that etch marble, creating a dull appearance that looks like dirt but is actually surface damage.
This is why we focus exclusively on natural stone restoration. We understand the chemistry of marble and use only products and methods that enhance its appearance rather than damaging it. When done correctly, professional cleaning should leave your marble looking significantly better than before.
Most marble steam cleaning projects take 2-4 hours depending on the size of the area and the amount of buildup we’re addressing. Shower walls typically take less time than large floor areas, but we never rush the process.
Proper steam cleaning can’t be hurried. We need time to assess your marble, adjust our equipment for the specific stone type, and work methodically to ensure complete cleaning without damage. Rushing leads to missed areas or potential damage from overheating.
We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during our initial assessment. The investment in time pays off with results that last significantly longer than quick cleaning methods, and you won’t need professional cleaning as frequently when it’s done properly.
