The marble floors are really an amazing choice for people, while it comes to designing the homes or the commercial properties. Due to the natural beauty of this stone and the magnificence this stone brings with the shiny and sleek appearance, this is widely used in the areas like bathroom vanity tops, fireplaces, kitchen counter tops etc. Though marble is really beautiful, but it is also vulnerable and is prone to stains and dirt that makes the areas look unattractive and untidy if not maintained properly. But it is possible to protect the damages as well as to keep the marble floors new and shiny by choosing the marble cleaning products that will not cause any damage.

Here in this article, you will find both the ways to clean the marble with the homemade products and with the commercial products:

1.    Cleaning with home products:

•    Take a fair amount of clean water in a bucket.

•    Add some detergent to that water.

•    Use your mop and overlap short strokes and therefore wash the floor or the countertop as usual.

•    Mop the floor thoroughly again by using clean water.

•    Let the floor dry naturally and don’t use any kind of artificial dryer.

•    In case you find any spots or scuff marks on the floor, then attend it a different way. To remove the stains, rub it in straight lines by using a soft natural PH powder or a detergent with felt pad. Always remember that rubbing the floor in circular ways will only leave more marks.

2.    Cleaning with commercial products:

•    These days, there are different types of marble cleaning solutions available in the shops. You can find it in the home improvement stores or even in the house keeping specialty shops. Choose the products with neutral PH and gentle chemicals as these will never discolor or damage the marble floors.

•    Before you buy, ask the retailer about the instruction of using the products and also read the instructions of the manufacturer carefully to make it sure that you would use the product in a proper manner and also to prevent the chemical damage to the floor.

Some additional tips:

Marble is really soft and therefore it reacts poorly to the highly acidic or alkaline materials. Therefore, while preparing the homemade solutions, never mix it with any acidic chemical like vinegar or lemon to avoid damage to the marble floor. Rather, you can take the help of baking soda or some detergent diluted in the water to clean the floor. In case your floor gets a stain, then the best method is to immediately attend the stain to prevent the floor from absorbing it. This way, you can easily keep your marble floor sparkling new and shiny year after year. In case you have granite floors, then remember that granite is tougher than marble and therefore this stone should not be treated in the same way to deal with the stains and the wears. There are some specialized granite cleaning products available in the markets that can help you with this.
