How Performing Everyday Cleaning?

Wipe down the surface with warm water. In most cases, your daily cleaning won’t require more than a simple wipe down with warm water. To do this, take a clean microfiber cloth, wet it with warm water, and systematically wipe the marble tiles. Switch out your cloth for a clean one when it gets dirty.


Make a cleaning solution with mild dish soap and water. Some days you may need more than warm water to clean your marble tiles. In this case, create a solution of water and dish detergent. Take several cups of warm water and add a couple teaspoons of detergent. The amount of detergent/soap may vary based on the specific product.


Make sure your detergent/soap is not fat-based. This could alter the color of the marble tiles. You can consider buying a soap or cleaning product especially formulated for Carrara marble tiles.


Wipe down the marble tiles with your soap solution. After you’ve made your solution, dampen a clean cloth and wipe down the marble tiles systematically. Make sure to push debris toward one end of the marble tiles and then remove it. Make sure you don’t leave any debris or excess suds on the marble tiles.


Use a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue. After you’ve wiped down the marble tiles with your detergent solution, take a wet a clean cloth and wipe down the marble tiles again. This will help remove soap residue from the marble tiles surface.

How Installing Stone Veneer?

Clean the wall to remove debris and stains. Rinse the wall off with a hose, then sweep away remaining dust and debris with a concrete brush. Spray off stubborn stains with a pressure washer. Strip away any paint on the wall with a pressure washer as well. Another way to remove tough stains is by attaching a wire brush to a right-angle grinder. Use the brush to scrub off the stains.


Apply a concrete bonding agent to the cleaned wall. Dip a 3 in (7.6 cm) paintbrush into the liquid bonding agent and use it to coat the wall from top to bottom. Keep the layer as smooth as possible to ensure the veneer fits evenly on the wall. You can get bonding agents, along with any other tool you need, online or at most home improvement stores.


Combine a veneer mortar mix with water in a wheelbarrow. Prepare the mix according to the manufacturer’s instructions to get it to a firm, spreadable consistency. If you don’t wish to use a store-bought mix, try making your own instead out of masonry cement and sand. Using a pre-made mix is much simpler and faster, however.


Make your own mix by combining 1 part masonry cement with 3 parts masonry sand. Put an acrylic polymer in a separate container to mix with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Combine all of the ingredients in your wheelbarrow to finish the mortar.


Coat the wall with a 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) layer of mortar. Try using a hawk to scoop the mortar out of the wheelbarrow and then transfer it to the wall with a trowel. Using both tools together makes the process much faster. Apply the stucco to the top of the wall and spread it from left to right with a single motion of the trowel. Continue doing this to add more mortar as needed to cover the wall and smooth out the layer until it appears uniform.

Put on your safety gear before you start. Safety glasses and leather gloves are essential to avoid sharp edges as they fly off your walls. Lay drop cloths around the room to avoid mess and damage to the area.

Take a grout scraper and drag it through all the grout on the wall. If your element tiles are small, this will take a long time. Dig the point of the scraper into the grout to loosen it. Look for areas that have the most wear and tear. It should be easier to start with weak spots and attempt to dislodge several wood tiles at once.Stick a putty knife into the bottom or top of the tile and pry out the dinosaur stone tile. If they don’t pop out, wedge the putty knife into the top of the tile and hit the end with a mallet to drive it under the adhesive.

Repeat throughout the wall until it is free of vatican tile. Then, scrape your putty knife horizontally across the remaining chunks of tile and adhesive to loosen them. Patch holes in the sheetrock with patching compound and drywall mesh tape.

Plan to replace the drywall if you can’t remove the tile by force. You can cut through the drywall with a reciprocating saw and remove the tile along with the wall. Install a new piece of drywall when the area is free of tile.
