| |  | | Notices | Hi Unregistered,
I am Josveek Huligar of Huligar Stone Restoration. It is my hope that a few good craftsmen and craftswomen will call this sanctuary a home.
I will try to make this place as appealing to you as possible.
We do have a few ground rules (without rules there can only be chaos).
1. Respect yourself and your trade.2.No trade bashing. But, by all means, please debate. It is through the debates that we get to the truth.
3. In your signature, you may not link to any other site. If you supplied your link in your profile, you may put that link under your avatar
4. Do not insult the guests.
5. Your participation is necessary in all polls. This is the only way we can get real feedback.6.You can post pictures of your work. Please, the only work we really care about is the work you do to stone, not on it (nothing inappropriate).
7. You will also be required to be active in this forum. I intend to rid the NSRA Trade area of the hacks and stone-voyeurs by mandating anyone who wants access to the trade lounge to register with their location and trade. If for any reason a person does not participate for duration of 60 days they will be banned from the lounge "No Beer for you". We have guys who are willing to share their knowledge and experience to the public for free. The least you can do is ask the questions. If trade lounge has just one other person, I would be happy if that one person was someone I could exchange ideas with and by doing so better myself. In that way, this site is more about show and tell.
8. The general public will not be allowed in the trade lounge. The trade lounge members are not allowed in the student lounge. The students will be able to view but not post in the general room. All questions for the trade are to be confined to the trade lounge or they would be redirected to the trade lounge. Anyone in the trade lounge can make a reply to the general room once they keep in mind that we are promoting natural stone as a serviceable product.
9. We are craftsmen and women, not politicians. So leave the politics out.
MIA, Marble Cleaning Net, NTC, sfa and ISI are all welcome here as long as they respect this forum. There is a room where all may place their ads and do their promotions for upcoming events, a calendar for trade shows, educational classes, and any other type of trade gathering. For all the salespeople, we even have a place for you. You can enter your product up for reviews and the good folks will grade your products. I must warn you. If your product is inferior, the whole world will know, quickly. No news travels faster than bad news. For all the homeowners, contractors, and designers we even have a place for you. The general room is where you can ask as many questions as you want. You may not get the answer you are looking for but you will get the right answer. If there is any way that we can make your visit more pleasurable, please let us know. | | Articles Discuss, Removing HARD WATER STAINS stain from marble and granite at Consumer & Non-registered Lounge forum; HARD WATER STAINS

HARD WATER STAINS
Types:
Water stains from irrigation systems, faucets , bathroom fixtures, shower walls, etc.
Problem:
The minerals in water will leave mineral deposits which can appear as a white haze to large deposits of crust like minerals.
Solution:
1.If deposits are large try scrapping off excess deposits with a sharp razor blade.
2. Next apply an solution of weak phosphoric acid and agitate the area applying more acid as needed.This will etch all marble surfaces so plan on re-finishing the marble.
3.Re-hone and polish the stone if necessary.
Some mineral deposits will be immbeded below the surface of the stone and may cause spalling.If this is the case, replacement of the damaged stone is the only alternitive. |  Article Tools | | |

These could also be a possible option for (howtogetridofstuff.com/stain-removal/how-to-get-rid-of-hard-water-stains). Just follow the simple steps.
1. Fill the basin as high as you can with water.
2. For sinks, add 1 cup of vinegar. Tubs, 1 liter. Toilets, 1 cup.
3. Let the solution soak in the basin overnight.
4. Drain and rinse.
5. For extra-stubborn stains, make a paste from baking soda and white vinegar and scrub. Continue nightly soaks until they’re gone.
Be aware that not all hard water stains can be removed. Mineral deposits can be dissolved, but sometimes the metals in the water bond with surfaces (most commonly glass) and leave permanent white stains.
Hope this helps!  | | | | | | Re: Removing HARD WATER STAINS stain from marble and granite
The use of vinegar can be harmful to some stones. It may be best to keep away from vinegar just in case you have one of those stones. Just in case you do damage your stone, please contact your local stone restoration person, hopefully he they are members of the NSRA so they will now how to help you | | | | Article Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode | |
