Cleaning Marble

Cleaning marble can be a real challenge.
Beautiful marble is a soft porous stone. It can be scratched and pitted
easily so be gentle when wiping or dusting marble surfaces. Although we
like to advocate for vinegar as a great all-purpose cleaner, do not use
vinegar and lemon as general cleaners on marble. Acidic cleaners will pit
or damage marble. However, a small amount of lemon or vinegar will remove
stains on a marble surface. Just don't allow these or any other acidic substances
to sit on the marble for more than a minute.
When cleaning marble top counters or furniture use a soft cloth or sponge,
and a small amount of liquid castile soap in warm water.
Cleaning marble floors is simple. Simply damp mop first, then use one
of the following three cleaners:
- clear warm water
- castile soap in warm water
- a mixture of 1/2 gallon warm water and 1 cup of fabric
softener
When you're done cleaning the marble, polish the floor while drying with
a microfiber cloth, or an old soft cotton cloth. Attach cloth to a Swiffer
mop for easy use.
Cleaning marble is marbelously easy! Please explore the rest of the cleaning
