How do I remove concrete splatters off marble?

Question

Some workers left some concrete splatters on my grandfathers polished marble tombstone. Was wondering how I could remove it without any damage?

Answer 1

Try applying vinegar to the concrete spatter. Vinegar is a mild acid that will break down the concrete.

Answer 2

Very...VERY carefully.

The concrete spatters have almost as high (if not higher) of a strength for "stickiness" for the surface as the resistance of the marble to damage.

I would, however, contact the company that runs the cemetary and ask for the contractor's contact information so you can find-out what type of concrete they were using. And to see if the owner of the contractor's company would be willing to help - up to and including actually removing the spatter - if possible - without damaging the stone itself. However, while you can project an insulted front when you speak to them, do not go in screaming. Tell the company how insulted you felt when you saw the result of their employee's carelessness.

In any case, good luck!
