MARBLE COUNTERTOP :  7 EASY WAYS TO MAINTAIN IN

Marble slabs are known for their beautiful white background and grey vein pattern. Here are easy ways to maintain it.

Marble is formed when limestone undergoes metamorphism, a process where it’s subjected to high temperature and pressure over a long period.

There are two most common finishes for marble surfaces. It often comes down to personal preference and where it will be used, when deciding between honed or polished marble.

Wipe up spills immediately: Marble is porous, ok so what does that mean ?

In simple words, marble particles that are held together are not really tight and when there is a liquid dropped on it, the liquid seeps in and stays there. That’s your stain.

Use a pH-neutral cleaner: Marble is sensitive to acidic and alkaline substances. Use a cleaner that is pH-neutral (a pH of 7) or specifically formulated for marble to avoid damaging the surface.

Avoid using abrasive materials: Do not use abrasive materials like steel wool or scouring powder to clean marble. These materials can scratch the surface.

Seal the marble: All natural stone should be sealed after installation. For marble, to prevent staining, sealing should be done as needed.
