Stone Floor Cleaning and Polishing in Delhi NCR
Cleaning and polishing are two different jobs. A floor can be clean and still look grey because the sheen is gone, and it can be shiny and still be dirty if residue has been sealed in. We do both, in the right order. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

What each surface needs
| Marble | Character | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Statuario | White with bold grey veining | Etches fast, needs prompt spill control |
| Carrara | Soft white, subtle grey | Softer stone, dulls quickly in entries |
| Calacatta | Warm white with gold veins | Needs gentle pads to avoid vein bleeding |
| Perlatino and Botticino | Warm beige with fine veins | Yellowing if filled slabs are over-polished |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.
How the job runs
- Identify the marble type and check for resin filling (free)
- Masking with acid-proof covering
- Diamond passes at controlled speed, 30-45 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Polish to the agreed gloss, then seal or coat if required
- Before and after comparison plus a list of products never to use

Booking, access and scheduling
- Inspection booked within 24-48 hours; the written quote follows the same visit
- Work usually starts within a week of approval, sooner if you are flexible on dates
- Society gate, lift, parking and working-hour rules arranged before the crew arrives
- Water point, power and work area confirmed at booking so setup takes minutes
- Occupied premises are done room by room or after hours, at no surprise premium
| Job size | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Bathroom or kitchen | Same day |
| Single room | One working day |
| Full 2-3 BHK | One to two days |
| Lobby or commercial floor | Phased, often overnight |
Waste is removed the same day. Slurry, stripped residue, used pads and packaging leave with the crew instead of going into society bins or being left for you to dispose of.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.

Stone Floor Cleaning - common questions
Will polishing change the pattern?
No. Diamond polishing removes the damaged top layer; it does not bleach or alter the veining. On filled slabs we work at lower speed specifically to avoid yellowing.
Can yellowed Italian marble be corrected?
Polish residue and hard-water film lift during diamond polishing. Yellowing inside a filled slab is internal and cannot be polished out, so we test a patch and tell you the realistic outcome first.
How often does it need polishing?
Homes every 18-24 months with neutral cleaning. Lobbies, showrooms and entries every 8-12 months, longer with a sealer or nano coating.
Is a sealer worth it?
Yes in working areas. It slows absorption of oil, tea and coloured liquids, which buys time to wipe a spill, and needs refreshing every 12-24 months.
Why does Italian marble dull faster than Indian marble?
It is usually the cleaning, not the stone. White imported marbles are calcium-based, so acidic cleaners and lemon juice etch the surface and leave white patches within days. A pH-neutral cleaner and clean-water mopping solves most of it.
How far in advance should I book?
A week is comfortable. During festival and wedding season, two weeks is safer because crews are booked out for hotel and banquet work.
What access do you need?
A water point, a working power socket, and a clear route for the machines. Society permission for lift use is helpful for upper floors.
Can the job be split across weekends?
Yes. Many clients do one or two rooms each weekend. We keep the same rate per sq ft and you are not billed twice for travel within the same batch.
