For that you have to stick to some New Year’s resolutions mentioned in this write-up.

Clean spills as soon as they appear

Clean them as soon as possible after they occur. Or else, your milky white floors and counter tops will become dull and full of yellow patches.

Mop the floors regularly

Use a dry, clean and non-treated mop to clean your floor daily. Pay attention to the word ‘Daily’ because this is what your resolution is. Daily cleaning will prevent the dust and spills from accumulating. Therefore, you will find it easier to keep them clean with little effort. Be careful when using a vacuum cleaner as the dirt and dust jammed in the wheels can scratch the surface.

Do not use products that are not purposed for cleaning marbles

The use of vinegar or any other products that contain acid is never recommended. So, take the resolution to pamper your marble floor with PH natural and mild cleaners that are exclusively meant for cleaning these types of stones. You can stock premium quality marble cleaning products at home like marble polishes and avoid cheap quality cleaners that might lead to permanent loss of shine.
