What it is.
When a marble floor or benchtop goes dull across the whole surface, it is not dirty.
The mirror finish on polished stone is mechanical, produced by fine abrasives, and it wears away under feet, pots and cleaning. Once it is gone the stone scatters light instead of reflecting it, and no cleaner will bring it back.
Polishing does: the surface is worked back through a sequence of finer and finer diamond grits until it reflects again. This is the most common job we do and the most satisfying, because the change is total and the stone underneath is nearly always sound.
Dull marble: why it goes flat, and how it comes back.Clean it first and look again. What is still dull is in the stone, and comes back with honing and polishing, not with wax.Read the guide Why is the floor hazy after mopping?Four causes, one of which is the mop itself.
