Marble is made from compressed minerals capable of taking high polish. It is widely accepted as far as flooring is concerned and it’s true that no other natural stone can provide such a glamorous look. As the stone is very sensitive to acids and other chemicals it requires proper care and maintenance.
Marble Polishing is a crafty task meant for only trained and well-equipped professionals who can perform the job efficiently. This task is a big "no" for the do-it-yourselfers though primarily it seems easy.
The procedures of Marble Polishing include grinding, stripping, repairing, honing and polishing and the products include marble cleaners, etch or spot removers, sealers, e.t.c. but the vital part lies in the implementation of the methods effectively.

I have a question here.Is it due to high amount of calcium carbonate that marble reacts with acids and other substances that causes damage to it?
