Steam cleaning marble can cause thermal expansion that creates micro-cracks in the stone. Those cracks become stain traps and weak points that get worse over time. The high heat can also remove sealers and cause fillers to pop out.
Professional restoration addresses the actual problems—etching, scratches, embedded stains, and worn sealers. We use methods that strengthen the stone instead of stressing it.
In Holbrook’s older homes, we often work with marble that’s been in place for decades. These surfaces need restoration techniques that respect the stone’s age and condition, not aggressive steam that can cause irreversible damage.
