Will the pad scratch cultured/manufactured marble which has a Gel coat surface?

The flex pole works great, however the pads that come with the pole, if you scrub with to much force they do not last long at all

Yes it would scratch it. The pad is abrasive. The Casabella Flex Neck is good for cleaning the bath tub and the old fashioned porcelain wall tiles. Search for the sponge mops.

Handy Andy . . I wish I could answer your question, unfortunately I have enameled coated steel tubs, it does work great on them.

Yes Handy I'm afraid it will unfortunately scratch. My friend had gel-coated marble walls in her bathroom and used this scrubber to clean them. She then discovered the walls not only turned out looking grainy but the noticable scratches ruined the glossy shine. No Handy play it safe : do not use this scrubber if your bathroom has manufactured marble. This product is safe for porceline and non-cultured marble. I have noncultured marble in my bathroom and so far the scrubber works and cleans efficiently. Thanks for contacting me :)

I've been using them on my ceramic tile with now problems. I'm sure it would not harm any bathroom service, it's made of a plastic material.

Dear Klunch, If your marble floor is rough, yhis is not the product for you. This is simply an excellent polish. It is my humble opinion, not physically seeing your floor, that your marble needs to be honed and polished. That is generally performed by a firm that comes in with buffing and honing equipment. I'd get several estimates and check with your local BBB before hiring the company to do the work. I hired a company without checking them out and ended up with machine ringlets everywhere. What a nightmare! So be certain to CHECK THEM OUT or get their references. Best of luck to you.

Yes. I really like mine and use it on laminate wood floor that is not as durable as bamboo. No problem with scratching.

Yes, because there wont be a tight bond between the surfaces, the scratch will show. Not terribly, but no less noticeable.

My floors are travertine so I can't really answer. With marble it would depend on the finish that was applied to the surface. It was a miracle on my grout... The stuff is cheap order a bottle and do a test. Get a good grout brush, elbow grease is required!

I have it on my marble counter and it hasn't scratched it its a nice handy item hope that helps

It would depending on the depth of the scratches. Perhaps something like a flitz metal polish might be better if deeper scratches. These pads are basically a polish and really not meant for more than that.

I just needed it for after knee surgery, so I don't have an answer for long term use. But it doesn't appear to be a finish that would peel off. Can't tell you for sure about scratching, but there are no marks on mine yet.

I am not sure.... When our marble was installed I just buffed the film off by hand with a lot of elbow grease. Keep this product in mind if you get an unsightly mark down the road though. Good luck

I know that I have scratched my marble walking in high heels leaving little marks. I would think this might be ok since it is flat.and even and slides well.

No, the feet are not covered in rubber nor any protective material. I have mine on an acyrlic surface countertop and it has not scratched it. Since the feet are rounded, the smooth metal sits on the countertop, not the cut ends.

Quick Google search on polishing travertine says to do it with diamond grit pads of increasing fineness. That's what this set has. I've only done marble and it works great.

we have a tile/wood floor . it has not scratched yet, the panels cone with small (self stick)foam pads that stick to the corners to avoid scratching

Not at first. But eventually the glue type finish of the pads lose their effectiveness and the gel is necessary.

No. It comes with self - adhesive cushions you can apply to prevent scratching.

No but you could put felt stoppers on it. I have cork tiles on my floor and haven't noticed any scratches on my floor where I use the stool.

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.
