Natural stone surfaces are a significant investment and the centerpiece of a beautiful home. Marble floors, granite countertops, and travertine showers add undeniable value and luxury. However, daily life can take its toll. Foot traffic, spills, and improper cleaning methods can lead to scratches, etches, and a dull, lifeless appearance. At Las Cruces Carpet Cleaning, we are Las Cruces’ trusted specialists in stone restoration. We use state-of-the-art techniques to professionally hone, polish, and seal your valuable stone, bringing back its original, stunning finish.
Why Does My Stone Look Dull or Damaged?
If you’ve noticed your stone has lost its shine, simple cleaning won’t bring it back. The issue lies with the surface itself.
-
Scratches & Wear: Everyday foot traffic grinds microscopic dirt and grit into your floors, creating countless tiny scratches that diffuse light and make the surface look dull.
-
Etching: This is chemical damage, not a stain. It occurs when acidic substances (like lemon juice, wine, vinegar, or harsh cleaners) touch the stone and eat away at the surface, leaving a dull, whitish mark. Marble and travertine are particularly susceptible to etching.
-
Buildup: Waxes and improper cleaning products can build up over time, hiding your stone’s natural beauty and attracting more dirt.
Our professional refinishing process is the only way to truly remove this damage and restore the factory finish.

Our Meticulous Stone Refinishing Process
Restoring natural stone is a craft that requires precision and expertise. We follow a detailed process to guarantee flawless results.
Step 1: Consultation and Surface Assessment Our Las Cruces technician will perform a thorough inspection of your stone to identify the type, level of damage, and discuss your desired finish (e.g., matte, satin, or a high-gloss polish).
Step 2: Meticulous Area Preparation We carefully mask and protect all surrounding surfaces, including walls, cabinets, and appliances, to ensure your home is kept perfectly clean.
Step 3: Deep Cleaning & Stripping We use pH-neutral cleaners to safely remove all surface dirt and strip away any old, ineffective sealers or waxes that may be trapping dirt.
Step 4: Honing & Damage Removal Using multi-step diamond abrasive pads and water to control dust, we grind the stone surface to remove scratches, etches, and wear. This step creates a uniform, smooth surface, ready for polishing.
Step 5: Professional Diamond Polishing We proceed with progressively finer diamond grits, bringing the stone to your desired level of shine. This mechanical process creates a natural, durable luster—not a temporary chemical shine.
Step 6: Premium Impregnating Sealer Once the stone is perfectly polished and dry, we apply a professional-grade impregnating sealer. This crucial step penetrates the stone’s pores to protect it from within against future staining and spills.
Step 7: Final Inspection & Care Instructions We perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure you are thrilled with the results and provide you with simple instructions on how to properly care for your beautifully restored stone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between honing and polishing? A: Honing creates a smooth, non-reflective finish that can be matte or satin. It’s excellent for removing scratches. Polishing is the next step after honing, using finer abrasives to create a glossy, mirror-like shine. We can customize the finish to your preference.
Q: Will the stone refinishing process create a lot of dust and mess in my home? A: No. We use a wet-honing and polishing process. The water captures the dust and stone particles, creating a slurry that is contained and removed by our advanced equipment. We take extensive precautions to protect your home and leave it spotless.
Q: How long will the new sealer protect my stone? A: A professionally applied impregnating sealer typically lasts 2-5 years, depending on the type of stone, its location (floor vs. countertop), and the amount of traffic it receives. We will give you a specific recommendation based on your surface.
Q: My marble countertop has a dull ring mark from a glass. Can you fix that? A: Yes. That is a classic etch mark from an acidic drink. Our honing and polishing process is specifically designed to remove etch marks and restore a uniform, beautiful finish to your marble
