Care and Cleaning of Marble

Marble is beautiful to use, but it’s porous and can stain easily.  If something spills, you’ll need to wipe it off immediately and will need to use beverage glases to avoid moisture rings.

To regularly clean any marble surface, you will need luke warm water and dry wipe with a clean cloth.  About once or twice a year, use a mild detergent solution to wash, rinse and dry.  Using a light coat of wax can help protect the marble surface but isn’t considered essential.  Although a marble sealer could help protect from staining and allow the soil to be wiped off with a damp cotton cloth.

There is also a putty powder (made from tin oxide) used to polish dulled or etched surfaces.  Rub a damp wet cloth or an electric polisher for buffing.
