I have a marble top in the bathroom with a circular white stain that

raised and dull against the shiny finish of the marble. I believe it

limescale or perhaps the result of Viakal cleaner.-


Arggh!


Marble is a crap material for worktops in kitchens or bathrooms. I have
no idea why anyone uses it.

its very beautiful, and it has good properties or e.g. making pastry on,
but like wood, its vulnerable.

A point not appreciated by most of those who buy either.

Frankly, in kitchens stainless steel and ceramic tiles or slate or
granite...or melamine..

Its OK in bathrooms provided you don't put anything on it you wouldn't
put on your face or tongue..
