Things to Know about Marble Countertops
by Kevin Smith AuthorNatural
stone is a great choice for your kitchen or bathroom because of its durability
and beauty. Marble countertops in Dunwoody, GA, are a popular natural stone
surface because they're unmatched aesthetically and provide the same benefits
as other types of stone countertops. If you're considering replacing your
home's countertops with marble, there are a few things you should know.
Marble Benefits
A
major benefit of marble is that it's extremely durable. That's why many
structures and sculptures throughout history have incorporated the use of this
extraordinary metamorphic rock. The heat and pressure marble endures during its
creation makes it resistant to heat and damage, so it's an excellent choice for
areas with lots of use, like the kitchen. You won't have to worry about hot
pans damaging the surface of your countertops. It's completely realistic that
the marble countertops you install now could be the last countertops you'll
ever install in your home because they can last that long and still look
beautiful. In addition to their durability, marble has a timeless appeal that
has withstood the test of time. Marble isn't a surface that will go out of
style, but will compliment any kitchen with its wide array of colors and
veining to choose from.
Marble Care
For
everyday cleaning, marble is a great option. In fact, the best way to clean
your countertops daily is to keep it simple. Acidic cleaners like ammonia,
lemon juice, and vinegar can damage the surface of the marble, so the best way
to clean your marble daily is simply with water and a microfiber cloth. For
deeper cleaning, most dish soaps are gentle enough to be used as long as the
soap residue is completely removed.
Stain Prevention
Marble
is porous, so the best way to prevent stains in your marble is to clean up
spills as soon as possible by blotting them. This is especially true for things
with acid in them like tomatoes, orange juice, wine, or soda. Fortunately, if
staining does occur, there are marble stain removers you can purchase for your
specific type of marble.
