be very careful with marble as you could end up buying the floor.  If you have no training with it or no experience with it. Walk away.  Marble is easily damaged if you dont know what your doing.

Prochem do do ok chemicals so should do "exactly what it says on the tin" for future reference tho I have added a PDF about the 3M pads they really are good if you do marble floors often.

Dave

I would suggest you look at products from manufacturers who specialise in hard floors.

Prochem are great for carpet cleaning solutions, but I wouldn't use their floor cleaners anymore than I would use their leather cleaners.
