1. Removing stains from marble Marble surfaces are beautiful, but they can be susceptible to staining from everyday substances like coffee, wine and pet accidents. Fortunately, there’s an easy and cost-effective method for tackling these stains. Start by mixing baking soda and hydrogen peroxide into a paste, and then apply the paste directly to the stained area of your marble surface. Allow it to sit for up to two days—after this period, the stains should either lighten significantly or disappear completely. If remnants persist, simply reapply the paste. This method is gentle on the marble and can save you significant amounts of money compared to professional cleaning services 
2. Restoring shine to granite countertops Granite countertops are prized for their luster, but they can lose their shine over time due to calcium deposits from hard water. Instead of assuming your countertops need to be fully repolished, try using a stone scrub or shower glass polish to treat the areas around fixtures and sinks. Applying these products can remove the calcium deposits and restore the granite’s bright, reflective finish without the need for professional polishing.
3. Preventing water damage in stone showers Natural stone adds a touch of luxury to showers, but it requires careful maintenance to prevent costly damages. Start by making sure your shower is well-sealed—a compromised seal can allow water to penetrate the stone, leading to darkening, decay or rot. A stone restoration specialist can help you identify and resolve seal integrity issues before they lead to major problems.
