Q. My housecleaning service may have used an acid-based bathroom cleaner on my marble vanity top and caused damage. Can this be fixed?

A. If the damaged area is small and not too severe, you can try to fix it yourself with a quality Marble Polishing Powder or Compound. Try the Stonecare PRO Signature Etch Remover and Polish from www.stonecarecentral.com. However, it sounds like too much damage may have occurred and the best remedy would be to use the services of a reputable stone restoration contractor to repair the damage made by your employees.
