Cleaning Marble

Its no secret that marble is a relatively soft stone that is delicate and stains easily, but this doesn't mean that it's not easy to care for. When you are looking to clean tile, whether marble or granite, no specialized marble cleaners are needed. In fact, common household cleaning solutions or cleaning products are not recommended either. So what is the trick you might ask? Well view the video below and not only will those answers become clear, but you will see just how easy it really is to maintain your marble floor or countertops.

Additional Cleaning and Care Tips

  • Wipe down marble surfaces with a damp rag and buff dry with a chamois for routine cleaning.
  • Tough stains require a neutral, non abrasive cleaner such as acetone, hydrogen peroxide or clear ammonia.
  • Always apply the cleaning solution with a cloth and buff dry.
  • Only polish marble surfaces after cleaning using a marble polish containing tin oxide.
  • Protect your marble floors with a stone sealer. Use a non abrasive floor cleaner.
  • Always place coasters under glasses and put plastic under cosmetics. Water can stain marble.
  • Use rugs to cover marble in high traffic areas.
  • Refer serious scratches of any depth for professional repair.
