Removing Water spots From Travertine, Marble and Limestone Countertops
There is no doubt about it, homeowners have a love-hate relationship with their Travertine, Onyx, Marble and Limestone countertops that are mounted on cabinets, vanities, bars, dining room tables, and mantels. Homeowners agree that their Travertine, Marble, and Limestone countertop is a stunning way of enhancing the ambiance inside their homes.
However, those ubiquitous water spots seem to drive lots of homeowners crazy. When Travertine, Marble, Onyx, and Limestone countertops are marred by water spots or etching, homeowners will search online for countertop honing, polishing, refinishing and stone restoration solutions. Many will discover the www.stonecareofarizona.com
website to remove unwanted etching and scratches. Once the etching and scratches have been removed, Stone Care of Arizona, the natural stone care expert, will polish the countertop surface to match the factory shine.
WHAT CAUSES WATER SPOTS?
The term "surface etching” is often euphemistically referred to as “water spots.” Water with high calcium magnesium content can leave an “artificially looking etch,” which has a crusty surface and leave a whitish patina The good news is that calcium magnesium residue is "not" an etch. However, acid-based substances will "dissolve" the Beilby layer of the Travertine, Marble, and Limestone countertop. What is a Beilby layer?
Great question, Sir George Thomas Beilby
hypothesized that polishing a surface drastically alters the surface on the molecular level. Sir George Thomas Beilby further hypothesized that the surface atoms are rearranged from their polycrystalline configuration to an amorphous one. Simply stated, polishing Travertine, Marble, and Limestone countertops by mechanical polishing or with an acid-based compound will "dissolve the surface layer(s) and hardened it to a shiny finish. Thus, the Beilby layer is the shiny surface, as a result of the surface being honed (no shine) to a polished finish (stain to shiny refection).
Stone Care of Arizona, the natural stone expert, pinned an informative article about the differences between surface and sublevel etching. The title of the article is "HOW TO REMOVE AN WATER SPOTS ON MARBLE, TRAVERTINE & LIMESTONE COUNTERTOPS?"
Surface etching is caused by acid-based fluids, cleaners, and beverages that come in contact with the surfaces of Travertine, Marble Onyx, and Limestone countertop. Stone Care of Arizona, the natural stone expert unpacks this more for a better understanding overall:
