How to CLEAN MARBLE at home (Cheap and Easy)

[@user-oz7nw9sq7y]

I would LOVE to own that piece of amazing old marble.

I hope you stay on KZbin, David! You have the best channel for antiques and there aren’t enough antiques-based channels on here. I like the creative type of videos too with painting and sculpting etc. I’m trying to learn it all so it’s really helpful. 👍

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks so much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it. I really enjoy making the vids, but as we know it’s a hard slog to make any money out of KZbin…I really need 100,000 subs and then it might start paying!

[@rayblack4290]

That was very satisfying!🔥 I love everything about this setup. You should totally consider filming more in the garden... perhaps more antique cleaning tutorials?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you! Will do!

[@jeanpearce8160]

Very informative, more videos like this please.Loved the jug & 'Matisse' painting.🙂.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you. More coming…and the painting on the T shirt is one of mine…called ‘The Guitar Players’!

[@jimtongas821]

Toothbrush works great getting into those crevices. Beautiful job. 👍

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Yes it does, good tip

[@justcurious4060]

well done!😄

[@ByrRaven]

lol will that work on my tub? It looks amazing David.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

You’ve got to give it a go!

[@sam7687-i9b]

Looks better 👍

Australia loves the bare-handed expert saying that he'd wear gloves, but he didn't, but he would.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

He would if he could remember…or, he was filming for the BBC!

[@skiracer]

Dear David, good job! What do you think that artifacts original purpose was?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

It’s a mortar as in a mortar and pestle…used in a kitchen for a couple of hundred years and then chucked in the garden!

[@skiracer]

Okay thank you David. Have a fun day!​@@DavidHarperAntiques

[@ColleenC-n5v]

Wow! Can you come to my house stay for a week? I’ve got 120 year old white marble everywhere….and could sure use your help!

[@johnkennedy9785]

It saved me $$$ and the purchase of unnecessary equipment. Bring on the baking soda! Used for so many things! Thanks from Seattle, Washington, USA.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Wonderful to hear…thanks so much

[@vermontdancer7804]

Great video! Thanks for making it. How abrasive is the baking soda? Will adding vinegar to it make it more abrasive? Can this method be used on marble busts?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

It’s not very abrasive and yes works well on marble busts…not sure about the vinegar…never tried that

[@sobraine123]

Adding vinegar to the bicarbonate would make it more fun !

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

It would!

[@OriginalNethead]

Ye old sodium bicarbonate! It's one of the most useful cleaning chemicals you can buy. Nontoxic and dirt cheap. Another useful tool in the kit is full strength hydrogen peroxide, the sort you buy in a beauty supply store. Its great for removing brown stains from old pottery and porcelain.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

That’s a good idea for a vid!

[@OriginalNethead]

@@DavidHarperAntiques especially with how brown the peroxide can turn. Tea dyed pottery anyone?

[@sandrapearson728]

Being a disciple of the wonderful Nancy Birtwhistle I am pretty sure she would have made a paste of the bicarb with some eco friendly washing up liquid which would make it adhere nicely. Otherwise your method is much as she would do. Great result.

[@stephanieknuppel7428]

I think it can go inside after the cleaning ! 😁

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

It know lives indoors!

[@SpongeAddict-gw6mo]

I heard add hydrogen peroxide to soda

[@oldenglish1111]

lol, you should wear gloves….but your old school

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

I paid the price…had a tiny cut in a finger and by god did it sting later!
