We all know marble is gorgeous! It adds exquisite detail to kitchens, countertops, fireplace surrounds, vanities and entryways. Just as your favorite blouse may require special treatment (read: visiting your favorite dry cleaners!), marble requires great care, attention and maintenance too. But, rest-assured, it's well worth it!
Here are some easy tips to keeping your marble is tip-top shape:
- Seal marble! We recommend DuPont Stonetech� products.
- Think area rugs! Not only are they great accent pieces, but they help minimize outside dirt and grit from making its way inside and onto your floors.
- Dust mop your marble floors frequently to help prevent sand and dirt from abrading the surface.
- Clean up any spillage immediately to avoid the possibility of staining. Remember, marble is porous.
- Be gentle - clean with warm water and mild detergent that is approved for natural stone.
- Remember those coasters! Place coasters and/or trivets on marble countertops to prevent possible scratches, stains and burns.
Happy (Spring) Cleaning!
