Surface marks can come from foot traffic, dragged grit or spills. Before choosing a polish, it's important to establish whether the visible problem is absorbed staining or scratches in the finish.
A dark mark can be absorbed material, while a pale, rough-looking mark may be etching. Scratches caused by dragged grit will not disappear simply because the floor is cleaned.
Stains and scratches need different treatments: choosing the next step
For floor areas with different levels of wear, the proposed result should be discussed across the whole space. Some stains penetrate deeper than mechanical surface refinishing can safely address.
Mechanical resurfacing removes stone and is not an automatic stain-removal method. A conservative trial can be more appropriate than aggressive grinding, particularly where the stone has a delicate or irregular finish.
Frequently asked
Does polishing remove stains from natural stone?
Not necessarily. Polishing refines the surface; absorbed stains may need a different treatment and may not be removable.
