Title: limescale remover for marble
Post by: ronax3 on February 22, 2007, 08:09:25 pm

Does anyone happen to know what is the best thing to clean limescale marks from marble tiles in a shower cubicle?

Be careful! Limescale is best removed using an acid based descaler but marble is a very soft stone and is extremely sensitive to both acids and alkalis. There's a severe risk of permanent damage if you get it wrong. A lot of people would be reluctant to advise you without seeing it.

definately agree with mike but a very mild acid is vinegar if this is left on long enough it should work but even though it is mild try on a small area of marble first to make sure it doesnt mark
