Marble Floor Looking Dull ?

It just might be your "Neutral Cleaner"

Most "General Purpose" and "Neutral Floor Cleaners" contain an ingredient that makes the water wetter (breaks the surface tension of water). These additives are referred to as "Chelates".

Marble Floor Looking Dull ?

According to the dictionary a "Chelate" is: 
A chemical compound that acts as water "softening" agents. "Hard" minerals (such as calcium) are attracted to and can neutralize the surfactants in a detergent. Chelates do not remove or exchange hard minerals in water. Rather, chelate molecules surround and cover (sequester) those minerals. With these minerals sequestered, the surfactants in the detergent are free to foam and clean.

Makes sense right... Not Exactly

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of calcium carbonate, (like aragonite or coral), or carbonate of lime, (limestone or dolomite, a variety of calcite).

Your "General Purpose" or "Neutral Cleaner" can actually do more harm your floor than good. Next you need a floor cleaner specifically one that's "Chelate Free".

After years of searching for a suitable product for cleaning marble, granite and natural stone floor surfaces we finally found such a product. Details and specifications are here.
BTW - Chelate is pronounced "Kee Late" (in case your interested)
