yellow streaks on marble from steam shower

12 years ago

Any suggestions on how to clean the yellow stain that is located under the area where the steam shower shoots steam. This yellowed stain runs down my new calacutta gold marble wall and across mosaic marble floor to drain.

This is a new bathroom and we have used the steam shower only 1x, so I'm wondering if there might have been something inside the steam unit before use.

Rest of tile is fine.

Thank you.

Are you sure what you are seeing are actually stains and not early signs of mildew because what you are describing sounds more like the gunk that forms often on the grout and in corners of showers when not cleaned often enough
