Poultice?

Have a white Carrara Marble fireplace to clean for a custy. I tried bleach and water and it worked pretty good but I think a poultice is in order to get all the sut out properly.
pics 1&2 show before and the 3rd show after some scrubbing. There's also a crack but that's out of my league Shoot!! pics are too large for here. Sorry

Any suggestions for a poultice for this?

Have a good one. Mark

This is the result after scrubbing for almost 45 mins.



This a before



A closer pic. Sorry about quality.
First one was after scrubbing for about 45 mins. It is a polished marble as well. Don't think the bleach has hurt it as the polish wasn't that great anyways.


Thanks guys. Have a good one. Mark

Re: Poultice?

A good cleaner should be all you need, but it may take a few applications. Take it from experience, a poultice on an intricate fireplace like that is very hard to do and takes a long time. Not worth it unless you get excellent $$$. Good luck.

Re: Poultice?

Thanks guys. Appreciate it and thanks Huligar for posting the pics for me.

I'll stick with a good alkaline cleaner and scrub the heck out of it.

Have a good one. Mark
