easily absorb any substance that comes in contact with them. Marble is also sensitive to acid. So whether it is acid found in food like citrus fruits, wine or synthetic cleaning products, we need to be extremely careful what we allow to touch marble tiles. Marble can also be very sensitive to stains. A little pigment left for too long can blend into marble and completely ruin the look of any floor or room.

You also have to be particular with the cleaning agent you will be using. As mentioned earlier, marble is highly sensitive to acid, it can cause discoloration or even scratch the surface. A pH (how acidic) level is very important to take note of. pH-neutral (near a pH level of 7) products should be used at all times. To be safe, always test the cleaning product you plan to use, especially if it is a new one, on a small area first. Use cold water as well.

Choosing rinse-free products can also help save you time and effort. Sealing is another impeccable way to keep marble in tip-top shape. Normally new surfaces are already applied with sealant products, but as marble gets older, the seal needs to be reapplied. This helps protect marble from stains and damage by providing a coat. If the marble surface is used for preparing or consuming food, make sure to check if the sealant product can be used safely for that purpose. White chalk can be used to clean marble tabletops. Ground up white chalk into a fine powder (using a mortar or pestle can make this job so much easier) then use a damp cloth to gently move around and wipe away. Just remember to never fail to check the label of any marble cleaning product. Each one is made differently and may contain ingredients that can damage or compromise the quality of marble.

Marble Cleaning Do's and Don'ts

While marble is a stone, it isn't as hard as you might think.  Stone hardness is measured by the Mohs scale.  Stove with a Mohs hardness level of 10 is hardest, which is the diamond.  Marble is only a 3 on the Mohs scale.  That's why you really should consider getting a professional marble cleaning service in to take care of it.  What gets a lot of people in trouble where marble is concerned is the fact that it is surprisingly easy to damage.

Not by marble polishing and marble honing mind you.  On the contrary, these activities are actually quite beneficial where marble cleaning is concerned.  Marble honing is essentially grinding, and should only be done by a professional service.  Use the wrong abrasive and you could end up scratching your marble.  Don't use a tough enough abrasive, and it won't help your floor.  As for marble polishing itself, it may be tempting to use a store-bought solution.  One of the problems with store bought cleaning solutions for marble is the fact that a great many of them give your floor a shine by using wax.  Wax can give your floor that shine, but there is a downside to it.  Over time, wax builds up, and traps dirt and other impurities which causes your floor to lose it's luster.  Another component of marble cleaning products is worse than wax, though.  A lot of products like this have acidic compounds in them.  As we covered in a previous article, marble is a delicate stone, and anything acidic spilled on it from coffee to wine can have a disastrous effect on marble.

Final Thoughts on Marble Care

You have to know what to do as well as what not to do.  If you use the wrong product to clean your marble, you could find yourself having to clean it more because of buildup, or have it damage your stone. If you buy a honing powder, and get it too abrasive, you can end up scratching your marble or having nothing happen.  So, why take the chance?

Remember, that even cheap marble is expensive.  So instead of replacing your marble, clean it.  And get the right help:  a marble cleaning service in San Antonio.
