5 Must-Know Tips to Care for Marble

by Anika Dixit Blogger

When cleaning the house, marble is the least of all things that is well taken care of. Marble is chosen as the perfect material for flooring because of its elegance and classic appearance. The choice of unique combination of design and colour makes your house different from that of others.  

Marble objects show damage after they get excessive outdoor exposure. Ancient buildings and historical landmarks show clear signs of destruction on the exposed marble panelling, pillars, and walls. All these damages are closely related to the weather conditions. 

Factors like damage, colour, shape and durability solely depend on the quality of the marble. 

It is a common sense that certain types of marbles when used outdoors are sensitive in respect to their potential of sustaining chemicals and shape resistance and are prone to damage. If you face any problem while cleaning marble surfaces and floors, immediately give a call  to professional marble polishing services.

Do’s and don’ts of taking care of marble

  1. Never run a vacuum 

It is not good if a vacuum cleaner is run on the marble every day. It has a tendency of leaving marks and scratches all over the surface, weakening its durability and completely ruining the polished surface. If it is extremely necessary  to use a vacuum cleaner on the hard ends of the floor, attach the hose and gently run it along the edges.

  1. Always use lukewarm water while cleaning 

Marbles are extremely sensitive to cleaning agents like detergents and cleaners as it has toxic chemical content. You would never get back to using chemicals, detergents, sodas, vinegars or even wax once you notice the harm they cause on the marble such as splotches and etching marks. As said by professional marble polishing services, some products are specifically advertised as marble cleaners, but your best bet is still simple hot water.

  1. Use microfiber dusters or cotton rags 

Dusting off the contaminated dust particles and hair strands should be done carefully. Harsh brushes and scrubbers can scratch leave marks on the marble. Soft microfiber dusters, cotton rags and dust mops are less likely to leave marks. Also make sure to wash out the rags and mops before cleaning the marble. 

  1. Don’t let liquid detergent sit on the marble

Don’t let any liquid detergent or cleaner leak and spoil the marble. The harmful chemicals of it will leave marks on the marble and can also decolourise the area. As soon as such things are spotted, it is advised to wipe it off with lukewarm water. 

Wrapping up

Not everything can be done alone, especially when you are a working individual. It is advised to fall back on the best marble polishing services around you as marble requires critical care.
