of the pieces have dirt stains on them that l could not get out, l 
remember them being almost pristine when l bought them though. The dirt 
shows up very well because the marble is pure white.

Is there 
anyway to properly clean or bleach the marble?

Once again, the 
marble is unsealed and unfinished, so it is very likely that the dirt is 
in the pores of the marble.

already, l have already tried marble polish on a few pieces, but to no 
avail.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
