How to Clean Marble

What You'll Need

• pH-neutral marble cleaner
• Soft microfiber cloths
• Warm water
• Soft sponge
• Marble sealer

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Wipe spills immediately

   Marble is porous and acidic substances can etch it within minutes. Wipe up spills the moment they happen.

2. 2

   Mix mild cleaning solution

   Use pH-neutral marble cleaner or a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water.

3. 3

   Wipe gently

   Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the marble in circular motions. Avoid abrasives.

4. 4

   Rinse with clean water

   Wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove all cleaning residue. Soap residue can dull marble.

5. 5

   Dry and buff

   Buff with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and bring out the natural luster.

Pro Tips

• TIPSeal marble every 3-6 months. Marble is porous and absorbs liquids quickly.
• TIPUse coasters and cutting boards on marble to prevent scratches and acid damage.
• TIPTest water beading regularly. If water absorbs, the seal has worn down.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• XUsing vinegar, lemon, or other acids, which etch and dull marble permanently.
• XUsing bleach or harsh chemicals, which damage the surface.
• XSkipping regular sealing, which leaves marble vulnerable to stains.
