Alaskan Belgian marble

The best way to clean the stone will depend on the current condition of
it and the desired look.

If the stone is dull and the owner wants a high shine, then the stone
needs more than 'cleaning',  - it may need diamond pad grinding, honing
and powder polishing to restore the shine.

If the stone is dull but dirty and the owner likes the dull (honed) but
dislikes the dirty, then the procedure might involve using a combination
of neutral pH cleaner that is stone specific, agitation to suspend soil
and immediate wetvacuuming to get it off the floor and prevent it from
drying back onto/inside the stone and grout.

If the stone has deep scratches that are unattractive to the owner, no
amount of liquid cleaning or wetvacuuming will remove it. Diamonds are
necessary to remove the scratches.

If the scratches are not that deep and the owner likes dull but wants
clean, honing powder alone may be enough to remove the scratches and
clean the surface satisfactory-like.

There are some really cool specialized finishes that the owner can
consider, such as textured, antiqued, color enhanced and such that can
be done using non standard diamond pads or liquids.

Hey, if all they want is a fairly quick shine, they can use acrylic wax,
too. It's done and it has it's place, I spose.

Any idea which way the owner is leaning?
