Marble Backsplash Yellowing

Nooooooo i screamed after i walked into the kitchen where sunlight bathed the beautiful backsplash above the stove.

Marble backsplash yellowing.

Marble backsplash yellowing right after grouting. Diy doing my first tile job. This process of oxidation is similar to the rusting of metal. Except it wasn t beautiful anymore.

Was cleaning the haze immediately after with warm water and a sponge. Water stains are yet another common stain that occurs on marble. Mold is a common problem in many bathroom settings. Although flooding is a common cause there are several other reasons this color change will occur.

As marble wears the highly polished surface begins to become scratched and worn. White marble tiles can remain for years without yellowing then over time may slowly turn yellow and in severe causes may turn completely brown. I set all the tile and sealed with a sealing sponge. All over the united states i have encountered marble that has turned yellow and even brown.
