stone bathroom tile

Q. I cleaned soap scum off a stone tile shower with vinegar and it made white marks and streaks all over the shower walls. I can remove the sealer with cleaner but the white marks are still there. How do I fix it?

A. If your shower is marble or limestone the vinegar may have etched it. If this is the case you should try using an etch removal marble polishing compound.

If the spots are light you will be able to remove them yourself. If they are too deep you may need a professional to polish them. To find a Certified SurpHaces PRO Partner in your area, contact us

DO NOT ever use any acidic products on your stone, this includes vinegar and a variety of common shower cleaners. I would recommend you download our care guide for proper care and maintenance of your natural stone.
