Your marble shower walls stop looking cloudy and stained. Those white mineral deposits that regular cleaners can’t touch disappear completely. Steam cleaning reaches deep into marble pores to pull out soap scum, hard water buildup, and years of grime that’s been sitting there.
The difference is immediate. Your marble regains its original color and clarity. Water beads off the surface instead of leaving spots. You’re not scrubbing with harsh chemicals that etch and damage the stone.
Most importantly, professional steam cleaning extends your marble’s life. You avoid costly replacement and protect the investment you’ve made in your Roslyn Heights home.
We’ve been restoring marble and natural stone across Long Island for over 25 years. We’re the company that Garden City Hotel has trusted exclusively for 16+ years.
What sets us apart is direct owner involvement. You’re not dealing with subcontractors or franchisees. Every project gets the same disciplined approach that earned us recognition in the New York Times.
Roslyn Heights homeowners choose us because we understand the unique challenges of historic properties. Many homes here are renovated Levitt houses with extensive marble and stone work. We know how to restore these surfaces without compromising their character or value.
First, we assess your marble’s condition and identify problem areas. Hard water stains, soap buildup, and mineral deposits each require different approaches.
Our steam cleaning process uses controlled temperature and pressure. Unlike consumer steam cleaners that can cause thermal shock and cracking, our professional equipment works at precise settings that clean deep without damaging the stone structure.
We follow steam cleaning with targeted restoration. Etched areas get polished back to their original finish. Cracks and chips are repaired with color-matched materials. Finally, we seal the surface to protect against future staining and water damage. Most projects are completed in 1-2 days, and you can use the space the next day.

Steam cleaning covers your entire marble surface system. We clean shower walls, floors, and backsplashes in one comprehensive process. Grout lines get deep cleaned and resealed. Caulking is removed and replaced where needed.
In Roslyn Heights, we see a lot of hard water issues due to the local mineral content. Our steam cleaning process specifically targets these calcium and mineral buildups that regular bathroom cleaners can’t handle safely on marble.
We also address the underlying problems. If water is pooling or drainage is poor, we’ll point that out. Steam cleaning works best when the marble can stay dry between uses. We’ll show you simple maintenance steps that keep your restoration looking fresh for years.
Professional steam cleaning is safe when done correctly, but consumer steam cleaners can damage marble. The key is controlled temperature and pressure.
Consumer steam cleaners often reach over 300 degrees, which causes thermal expansion in marble. This leads to cracking, spalling, and permanent damage. Our professional equipment operates at precise temperatures that clean effectively without thermal shock.
We also understand marble’s chemical sensitivity. Steam cleaning removes buildup without the acidic cleaners that cause etching. The result is deep cleaning that actually protects your marble rather than wearing it down over time.
Most shower steam cleaning projects take 4-6 hours, depending on the size and condition of your marble surfaces.
We don’t rush the process. Deep cleaning requires time for the steam to penetrate and break down years of buildup. If restoration work is needed – polishing etched areas or repairing chips – that adds time but ensures complete results.
The good news is most bathrooms are ready to use the next day. We schedule around your needs and can often work while you’re at work, so there’s minimal disruption to your routine.
Steam cleaning reaches contamination that surface cleaners can’t touch. Regular marble cleaners work on surface dirt and light staining, but they can’t penetrate the buildup that accumulates in marble’s porous structure.
Steam cleaning uses heat and moisture to break down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic buildup at the molecular level. This removes staining and discoloration that’s been building up for years.
The other major difference is safety. Many regular bathroom cleaners are acidic and will etch marble over time. Steam cleaning removes the need for harsh chemicals, so your marble gets cleaner without getting damaged.
Yes, steam cleaning works excellently on marble backsplashes, especially for removing grease and food stains that regular cleaners leave behind.
Kitchen backsplashes face different challenges than bathroom marble. Cooking oils, food acids, and heat create a different type of buildup. Steam cleaning breaks down these deposits without the scrubbing that can scratch marble surfaces.
We pay special attention to areas around the stove and sink where staining is heaviest. The steam process removes discoloration and restores the marble’s original color, making your backsplash look like it was just installed.
Historic marble floor restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been restoring 100-year-old floors across Long Island since 1998.
Historic marble requires extra care because the stone may be softer or more porous than modern marble. Our steam cleaning process is adjusted for these older materials. We use lower temperatures and longer dwell times to achieve deep cleaning without stress.
Many historic floors in Roslyn Heights have unique patterns or rare marble types that can’t be replaced. Our approach preserves these irreplaceable materials while bringing back their original beauty. We treat every historic floor as the valuable antique it is.
Most marble surfaces benefit from professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months, but high-use areas like shower walls may need attention every 6-12 months.
The frequency depends on your water quality and usage patterns. Roslyn Heights has moderately hard water, which means mineral buildup happens faster than in areas with soft water. Busy households with multiple daily showers will see buildup more quickly.
We recommend annual maintenance for most clients. This prevents heavy buildup that requires more aggressive restoration. Regular steam cleaning keeps your marble looking consistently beautiful and actually extends its lifespan by preventing damage from accumulated contaminants.
