Clean spills immediately
Marble is a porous material that can absorb liquids, which can cause staining and damage. Clean spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth to prevent them from penetrating the surface.
Use a pH-neutral cleaner Avoid using harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners on marble surfaces, as they can etch the surface and cause discoloration. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for marble surfaces.
Avoid using abrasive materials Scrubbing with abrasive materials such as steel wool or abrasive cleaning pads can scratch and damage the surface of the marble. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface.
Use coasters and placemats Marble surfaces can be easily scratched by hard or sharp objects. Always use coasters and placemats under glasses, plates, and other items to protect the surface.
Avoid extreme temperatures Marble can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, so avoid placing hot or cold items directly on the surface. Always use a trivet or hot pad to protect the surface.
