Why Get Professional Marble Care?

Why get professional marble care?  Well, marble, like travertine, can be damaged if you don't know what you're doing.

Marble is a favorite stone for construction and decoration. It is a noble material that gives a distinguished touch to your environments and lasts for several generations. But for that, you must keep it clean with techniques to keep for years. As a porous material, marble easily absorbs stains. The good news is that these stains can be removed successfully if you act fast. The longer, more liquid is absorbed and the harder it is to remove from the stone.

How to clean marble  is very simple; simply pass a sponge or cloth soaked in a mixture of soap and water. Of course, if the spots are deeper, you will have to apply other techniques.  If there is a mark of rust or rust on the floor from the action of some furniture, we recommend using water and lemon (juice). You can also add a little salt. When vinegar or lemon is used to remove a stain, keep in mind that are corrosive to the stone, so it should be used with care. Otherwise, you can ruin the marble permanently. To prevent this from happening, apply the mixture to the stain, rub gently for a few minutes and immediately it with water and soap. If the stain persists, clean it again, taking care not to let it set more than a few minutes on the stone.  It's a good idea to clean your marble in sections, so that only a small portion of floor is vulnerable at a time.

Marble Cleaning and Sealing

One thing that a lot of people do wrong with marble cleaning is to apply wax to it to make it shine.  While wax can give your floor a temporary shine, wax has a tendency to build up to the point that it can attract dirt and make your floor look dingy and worn out.  What's surprising about marble is that you can actually hone it with the right sort of abrasive pads and powder to get that shine.  The shine level of your marble depends on the finish you're looking for.  Full gloss, for example, is where marble literally looks like a mirror, and you can even see  your face in the floor.

Ultimately, regardless of how you do it, you want to take care of your marble.  One of the best ways is to call a marble cleaning service.
