The Stone Industry Consumer Initiative
Marblecleaning.org is a labor of love if you will. Our purpose is to represent the—as yet—very unheard voice of the consumer to the industry to effect much needed change. Our many years of collective experience have clearly identified that the consumer is virtually unprotected and unfortunately, terribly under-represented. Our aim is to educate and to advocate for you, the consumer, the end-user of natural stone and other related materials and products or services and to regard your needs as paramount in drafting recommended industry standards.

Help Shape the Stone Industry's Standards of Practice
It is our intent to take the united voice of the consumer before the stone industry and goverment offices and urge them to take notice and to adopt comprehensive and precise industry standards and guidelines to protect the consumer—who are those who pay everybody’s bills—while protecting itself.

Consumers and professionals alike are taking a stand and contributing their support. Why not join them today?

On a few occasions, in the answers from our experts, there will be a mention to some specific product; but that will happen only if and when such product(s) represent the optimal solution to your problem.
