Your marble walls will have that deep, natural shine you remember from when they were first installed. No more dull spots from soap scum or water stains.
Steam cleaning reaches into the pores of your marble where regular cleaning can’t go. You’ll see the true colors of your stone emerge as layers of buildup disappear.
The difference isn’t just visual. Clean, properly restored marble walls resist future staining better and create a healthier environment by eliminating mold and bacteria that hide in damaged surfaces.
We’ve been serving Mastic and Long Island since 1998. We’re the company that major hotels trust with their most valuable surfaces.
Our owner-operator approach means you get direct access to the expertise that’s been featured in the New York Times. We don’t subcontract or cut corners.
Mastic’s mix of historic and waterfront homes presents unique challenges. Salt air, humidity, and older construction materials all affect how marble ages. We understand these local conditions and adjust our restoration methods accordingly.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition. Different types of damage require different approaches, and we identify exactly what your surfaces need.
Our high-tech vapor steam equipment works at temperatures that break down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic growth without harsh chemicals. This isn’t the steam cleaning you might think of for carpets – this is specialized equipment designed specifically for natural stone.
After steam cleaning removes the surface contamination, we address any etching, scratches, or deeper damage through our restoration process. Finally, we seal your marble to protect against future problems and make daily maintenance easier.

Our steam cleaning service goes beyond what most companies offer. We handle marble walls, shower enclosures, backsplashes, and any natural stone surface that’s lost its beauty to daily use.
In Mastic’s coastal environment, marble faces extra challenges from humidity and salt air. Our process specifically addresses the mineral buildup and organic growth that’s common in waterfront communities.
You’ll get complete surface preparation, deep steam cleaning, damage assessment, and protective sealing. We work dust-free and handle all cleanup, so your daily routine isn’t disrupted. Most residential jobs are completed in one day.
Regular marble cleaners can’t remove the deep buildup that accumulates over years, and many household cleaners actually damage marble by causing etching. Professional steam cleaning uses specialized high-temperature vapor that breaks down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic growth without chemicals that can harm your stone.
Our equipment reaches temperatures and pressures that eliminate bacteria and mold while loosening contamination that’s bonded to your marble. This isn’t possible with conventional cleaning methods, which is why marble that looks permanently stained can often be completely restored.
The steam cleaning process also prepares your marble for proper sealing, which protects against future damage and makes routine maintenance much easier.
Yes, but it depends on how long the stains have been there and whether they’ve caused permanent etching. Hard water stains are mineral deposits that build up over time, and our steam cleaning process is specifically designed to break down these deposits.
In Mastic’s area, hard water is common, and the minerals in your water supply can create stubborn white spots and film on marble surfaces. Our high-temperature steam dissolves these mineral deposits without the harsh acids that would damage your marble.
If the hard water has caused etching (permanent damage to the marble surface), steam cleaning alone won’t fix that – but it’s the first step in our restoration process that can address even severely damaged marble.
For shower walls in daily use, professional cleaning and disinfection should happen every 6 to 12 months. Marble is porous, and the humid environment of a shower creates ideal conditions for bacteria, mold, and mildew growth in the stone’s microscopic crevices.
High-use showers may need attention every 6 months, while guest bathrooms or less frequently used showers can often go 12 months between professional cleanings. The key is not waiting until you see visible problems – by then, damage may have already occurred.
Regular professional maintenance is much more cost-effective than major restoration work, and it keeps your marble surfaces healthier and more beautiful long-term.
Steam cleaning is safe for most marble and natural stone when done by professionals who understand the specific requirements of each stone type. However, the temperature, pressure, and technique must be adjusted based on the stone’s density, age, and condition.
Some very soft or severely damaged stones may require different approaches. That’s why we always start with a thorough assessment of your specific marble before beginning any work. We’ve been working with natural stone for over 25 years, so we know how to identify potential issues before they become problems.
Our owner-operator approach means the person evaluating your marble is the same person who will be doing the work, ensuring consistent quality and appropriate treatment for your specific surfaces.
Professional steam cleaning won’t damage properly installed grout, but it will reveal grout that’s already compromised. In fact, steam cleaning often helps preserve grout by removing the organic growth and mineral buildup that can cause grout to deteriorate over time.
If your grout is cracked, missing, or improperly sealed, we’ll identify these issues during our assessment. Addressing grout problems is actually crucial for protecting your marble – damaged grout allows water to get behind tiles, which can cause much more serious and expensive problems.
We can handle grout restoration as part of our service, ensuring that your entire shower or wall system is properly sealed and protected after the steam cleaning process.
Most residential marble shower steam cleaning projects take 4-6 hours, depending on the size of the area and the extent of buildup. We work efficiently but never rush the process – proper steam cleaning can’t be hurried.
The timeline includes surface preparation, the actual steam cleaning process, assessment of any damage that needs additional attention, and final sealing. We work dust-free and contain our work area, so the rest of your home isn’t affected.
For larger projects or severely damaged marble that needs restoration beyond steam cleaning, we’ll provide a detailed timeline upfront. Most customers can use their shower the next day, though we recommend waiting 24 hours for sealers to fully cure.
