    Might be worth contacting the comapny that fitted it to see if they can supply you with some sealer to use if the olive all works (ps I saw granite cleaners/sealers in Lidl the other week but cant say if they are any good)
    I THINK is a whole sentence, not a replacement for I Know

    Does anyone have an idea about how to clean a marble table top? It's been out in the garden over the last few winters and has got very grubby. my usual cure all, cream cleanser doesn't seem to make much difference.

    Thanks to anyone who can suggest a cure.

  • We have a white marble fireplace and I was wondering if you had any tips on cleaning it? We had a cleaning lady before who damaged it (one area looks like it has a grease mark permanently) and so we don't want to damage it any further. Sorry if this has been discussed before, I did look at the mega indexed thread but couldn't find anything :confused:.

    Hi all,

    My beloved pooch has taken to occasionally
    wee-ing on the marble surround of the fire place.

    I have noticed that it has caused a stain, any ideas how to lift it???

    Thanks in advance

    Try rubbing in some washing-up liquid and sometimes a very gentle scrub with toothpaste can work but DO NOT use anything abrasive on it and certainly no chlorine bleach!

    Hi hot.chick,

    There's an earlier thread with some ideas that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.
