Where abouts are you. ?

It might well be poor quality polishing. If you are close enough to me I can check for you.

Hi Dave
What a kind offer- I am in Durham but hubby has got some natural stone cleaner from DIy store- cleaned one with that as a test and sealed that one it now looks fab.
Thank to Jay also.

As long as you are sorted.

The marks will most likely be from the box's.

Stone IMO should not be wrapped in cardboard like that.

looked like they had been boxed just after polishing- there was load of residue/dust on them- Thank again for all your advice

In other words the tiles were still damp and then this leached into the packaging causing this then to bleed back into the tiles, a BIG error by this comp for getting them boxed in this way.... either box in polystyrene or band together or loose... never in cardboard as i have seen tiles packaged this way stained and not useable..

dave is right on this . the cardboard in between the tiles will draw moisture out of of the tiles and some salts within the stone. it good that you have be able to resolve the problem

dont do white spirit on marble. can try with methalated spirit. never white spirit. and as somebody said earlier, dry them out over night. or could ty hair dryer on one tile.

Bad packaging method on the manufacturers part for sure. The cardboard could have been slightly acidic and etched the marble.
