The Marble Cleaning Process
The first step of every marble cleaning process requires a thorough analysis of the type of marble you have as well as an assessment of the damages. Next the appropriate marble cleaning solution will be applied using only gentle, eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Remember that the use of strong acids cleaners, solvents, abrasive detergents or any kinds of hazardous substances can easily damage and etch the marble, since marble is a porous stone.
In fact, the best way to clean marble floors is with a mop and some plain clean water, together with a few drops of mild soap. For marble countertops, clean and rinse the area with a sponge before drying up it up with paper towels. It is highly recommended that you avoid using the same rag to clean your countertops, as that can cause the stone to fog up due to the accumulation of grease.
Upon cleaning and giving your marble a thorough cleaning, the stone will then be sealed to protect it from any further damage. Sealing marble is especially significant on counter tops, floors and showers that get a lot of use. Marble isn't as dense as granite and even minor spots and spills can make their mark on this stone. A deep, penetrating sealer solution will be used to protect your marble’s natural beauty –preventing it from absorbing any future stains.
