Tile Etching Removal San Diego
Removal Of Etchings & Dull Spots
Removal Of Etchings & Dull SpotsThe ugly and difficult-to-remove undesirable etching appears as white or light-colored dark spots on marble surfaces. These stains could be the outcome of liquids with acids or bases left on the surfaces. To put it another way, these are chemical explosions. These stains may appear as spills, spray patterns (a result of using the incorrect cleaner), drops, or irregularly shaped glass bands. Take advantage of our tile repair services.
Marble, travertine, calcite, onyx, and other calcite stones are the most frequent culprits. Hard water can also result in salt streaks that resemble white crystal residue and can resemble etching, but are not.
Marble surface roughness may become dull and uneven after etching. When marble comes into contact with something hard, like industrial acidic chemicals, it may burn or melt to the rough surface, and even sand-like granules may be harmed. Tile etching is notoriously difficult to remove. Call San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning right away.

Etchings On Granite
The igneous rock that typically does not etch is granite, not calcite-based substance. Your stone is more likely to have been “doctored” if the etchings are present. Granite is “doctored,” or artificially dyed, by applying a substance to the surface and “baking” it at high temperatures to fuse, all for the benefit of enriching the pigment and increasing its price. Etchings may occur on that coat rather than the rock itself. Etches on doctored granite are more difficult to polish or erase than those on marble.
