Extend Marble Lifespan with Anti-Etch Professional Application and Anti-Etch Marble and Stone Sealer
Everyday acids—from lemon juice to vinegar and wine—can slowly eat away at marble and limestone, leaving dull spots and tiny pits known as etch marks. A certified Anti-Etch Professional Application stops this damage by creating a hidden layer that neutralizes acids the moment they touch the stone. Following expert preparation, the Anti-Etch Marble and Stone Sealer soaks deep into the pores, forming a strong barrier that keeps surfaces smooth and shiny.
Before sealers are applied, technicians first clear away any old coatings, soap scum, and dirt with gentle, stone-safe cleaners. They then smooth out minor scratches or dull patches, so the sealer bonds evenly across the entire surface. This careful prep ensures the protective treatment won’t just sit on top but will penetrate fully, guarding every inch of your countertop, floor, or wall.
During the Anti-Etch Professional Application, specialists lay down thin, consistent coats of the Anti-Etch Marble and Stone Sealer, which contains special alkaline compounds to raise the stone’s surface pH. When spills occur, liquids bead up and can be wiped away before acids have a chance to react with the calcium carbonate in the marble. High-quality sealers also remain breathable, letting moisture vapor escape from underneath without compromising the protective layer on top.
Once the sealer cures, technicians perform on-site tests by placing small drops of acidic fluids—like lemon juice or cleaning sprays—on the surface. If each drop beads up and wipes away without leaving marks, it confirms full coverage and guarantees that your stone is ready to withstand everyday use. This proven process comes with warranty-backed assurance, so you can trust that your investment is well protected.
Maintenance after a professional Anti-Etch Professional Application is simple. Regular cleaning only requires a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner—no harsh scrubbing or special polishes needed. Most homeowners find that one expert treatment of Anti-Etch Marble and Stone Sealer lasts one to three years, depending on how often the surface is used. When it’s time to renew, your service provider will recommend the exact moment to schedule the next application, ensuring continuous protection.
DIY kits and off-the-shelf sealers often miss spots or leave streaks, but certified professionals bring the right tools, controlled curing conditions, and industry-approved formulas for flawless results.
