I have a small piece of marble about 16x12x4. It's fairly old, and I thought I would like to clean it, maybe it could buff up some. Then I could use it to set hot things on, or as a cutting board ect. I used it years ago to pour hot candy on and really liked it. Does anyone know how I could polish it up a bit, or any other ways I could use it? Hubby thinks I should get rid of it.
Thanks |

I have a cultured marble sink in the bathroom. I used just plain baking soda (NO NO NO VINEGAR!!)
We bought an older house when I was in High School and it had marble window sills. Mom just washed them with soap and water and "Pledged" them. (Maybe not for pulling taffy candy, though).

Call your local granite counter top shelf dealer and see what they recommend. I know that granite counter tops need special cleaners and polishers to keep it nice.
Hope this helps

Sorry Julie, but DO NOT use marble as a stepping stone in your garden! They are super slippery when they get wet. I almost killed myself numerouse times slipping on a piece of marble we had right off our patio. Don't know why, but all of a sudden it dawned on me I should move it before I really did get hurt, DUH!
Oh, I should also say you could paint it and make it a welcome sign, just don't put it down where anyone can walk on it.

I like all your ideas. If all else, you could use as a stepping stone in the garden.
