How to Repolish a Marble Table

Marble is crystalline rock with a distinctive and attractive grain pattern and is formed in many different colors. The material is commonly used for furnishing in homes because it is very strong and can take a very high polish. If you have marble somewhere in your home, like on your tabletop, you will eventually have to repolish it to regain the natural shine and beauty it originally had. While you can't polish marble like any other material, the actual method you need to use is simple and easy.
