You get marble that actually sparkles. Steam cleaning reaches deep into the pores where regular cleaning can’t touch, pulling out years of buildup that’s been dulling your surfaces. Your shower walls regain that crisp, clean look. Your backsplash marble stops looking cloudy and starts reflecting light properly again.
The bacteria and grime that’s been hiding in those microscopic spaces? Gone. You’re not just getting surface-level clean—you’re getting the kind of deep sanitization that makes your marble feel fresh and new. And because steam does the heavy lifting, there’s no scrubbing damage to worry about.
We’ve been bringing historic surfaces back to life for over 25 years. We’re the company that gets excited about the worst marble you’ve got—the 100-year-old floors, the complex restoration jobs that other companies walk away from.
East Islip homes have character, and so does their marble. We understand the unique challenges of older Long Island properties where original marble installations need expert care, not replacement. When the New York Times featured our work in 2001, it wasn’t because we do easy jobs—it’s because we do the impossible ones right.
We start by protecting your space and removing any furniture that could get in the way. Our steam equipment heats water to the precise temperature needed to sanitize without damaging your marble—that’s the difference between professional and DIY steam cleaning.
The steam gun releases controlled bursts that penetrate deep into your marble’s pores, dissolving the buildup that’s been accumulating for months or years. We work systematically, focusing extra attention on areas where dirt and grime are most stubborn. As the steam loosens everything, our extraction system pulls it all away.
You’ll see the difference immediately. The microfiber mops we use for the final pass pick up any remaining residue, leaving your marble surfaces clean, sanitized, and ready to shine again.

Your steam cleaning service covers marble walls, shower enclosures, and backsplash areas that need deep sanitization. We handle the setup, protection of surrounding areas, and complete cleanup—you don’t touch a thing.
In East Islip’s humid Long Island climate, marble surfaces face constant moisture challenges. Steam cleaning is particularly effective here because it addresses the humidity-related buildup that regular cleaning misses. Your shower walls get the deep clean they need to prevent mold and mildew from taking hold.
We include a post-cleaning inspection to ensure every surface meets our standards. If we spot any areas that need additional attention, we address them on the spot. You get the peace of mind that comes with professional-grade equipment and techniques designed specifically for natural stone.
Yes, when done professionally with the right equipment and techniques. The key difference is temperature control and pressure management. Professional steam cleaning uses precisely calibrated equipment that reaches the optimal temperature for sanitization without causing thermal damage to your marble.
DIY steam cleaners often run too hot or apply inconsistent pressure, which can cause cracking or etching. We use commercial-grade equipment that maintains steady temperatures around 250°F—hot enough to eliminate bacteria and dissolve buildup, but controlled enough to protect your marble’s integrity. Our technicians know exactly how long to apply steam to each area and how to avoid the grout lines where excess heat could cause damage.
For most East Islip homes, professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months provides the deep sanitization your marble needs without overdoing it. High-use areas like shower walls might benefit from annual service, while decorative marble surfaces can often go longer between treatments.
The frequency really depends on your specific situation. Homes with hard water, high humidity, or heavy use patterns may need more frequent service. We’ll assess your marble during our initial visit and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your surfaces healthy without unnecessary treatments. Between professional cleanings, regular maintenance with pH-neutral cleaners helps extend the time between deep cleaning sessions.
Steam cleaning reaches places that regular cleaning simply can’t touch. Marble is naturally porous, which means dirt, bacteria, and soap residue get trapped deep in the stone where mops and surface cleaners can’t reach them. Steam penetrates these pores, using heat and pressure to dissolve buildup and kill bacteria that’s been hiding there for months.
Regular cleaning handles surface dirt, but it often just moves grime around rather than eliminating it. Steam cleaning actually extracts contaminants from within the stone, then pulls them away with professional extraction equipment. You also get the sanitization benefit—steam kills bacteria, mold spores, and other microorganisms that can cause odors or health issues. It’s the difference between surface clean and deep clean.
Professional steam cleaning, when done correctly, shouldn’t damage quality grout or properly applied sealers. However, this is where technique and equipment quality make all the difference. We use controlled pressure and avoid prolonged steam exposure on grout lines, which are more vulnerable to heat damage than the marble itself.
If your marble was recently sealed, we adjust our approach to protect that investment. Older or poorly applied sealers might be compromised, but that’s actually a good thing—it means the sealer wasn’t doing its job anyway. We’ll identify any sealer issues during our assessment and recommend resealing if needed. Our goal is always to preserve and protect your marble’s integrity while achieving the deepest clean possible.
Most residential steam cleaning projects take 2-4 hours, depending on the area size and condition of your marble. A typical bathroom with marble shower walls usually takes about 2 hours from setup to final cleanup. Larger areas like extensive backsplashes or multiple rooms will take longer, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
The process includes setup time, the actual steam cleaning, extraction, and post-cleaning inspection. We don’t rush—proper steam cleaning requires methodical work to ensure every area gets adequate treatment. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial assessment, and we always clean up completely before we leave. Your marble will be ready to use immediately after we finish.
Steam cleaning costs vary based on the area size, marble condition, and complexity of the job, but most residential projects in East Islip range from $300-800. Shower wall restoration typically falls on the lower end, while extensive backsplash or multi-room projects cost more. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
The investment makes sense when you consider the alternative—replacing marble can cost thousands, while professional steam cleaning extends your marble’s life significantly. We offer free estimates, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we start any work. Most homeowners find that the immediate improvement in appearance and the long-term protection make steam cleaning an excellent value compared to replacement or living with deteriorating marble.
