Marble Maintenance
Marble should be kept free of any acidic liquids, regularly wiped down with
a soft terrycloth, and soap and water. A sealer should be applied on a
quarterly basis for optimum protection.
Tips & Warnings
- Ask a professional to remove or repair a scratchs, chips, & etc..
- Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the stone surface.
- Do not place hot items directly on the stone surface. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that could scratch the surface.
- Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble or limestone. Strong detergents or corrosive liquids can dull the polished marble surface and should not be used.
- Don't use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers, scouring powders, or 'soft' cleansers
- Do not mix cleaning products such as ammonia and bleach together - the result is toxic.
