Note use 220 when trying to smooth out irregularities. Mix three tablespoons of soda with one quart of water and apply it on the surface then let air dry for several hours. Saturate the surface of the marble countertop a second time and wait 30 minutes. Spray a penetrating stone sealer on the marble countertops until the surface is wet.

Start with the coarsest grit sandpaper you have. Wet the surface of the marble with a spray bottle. For small blemishes uses 400 grit. After washing it with warm water wipe crushed chalk on the countertop rinse again and dry with a chamois cloth.
