Also try making several gentle passes rather than pressing down hard which doesn't work any better and just quickly wears holes in the eraser. I've used them on several marbles, along with careful steaming - but you are right to find a professional for this floor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-65955692645326108722009-10-15T02:06:48.404-04:002009-10-15T02:06:48.404-04:00Have you noticed that if you scroll up and down on...Have you noticed that if you scroll up and down on the top picture there is a strange phenomenon that appears, as though the black & white marble tiles are moving, in an optically illusive way.

It may likely remove all the age and patina, which is as important to an old stone floor as it is to a fine piece of furniture.
