Marble Care for the Soul

When we seek to remodel our homes or are in the search for our dream one, aesthetically pleasing and high end additions are always on our radar. Marble being a sought after natural stone, is a symbol of refined taste and elegance that adds that je ne sais quoi to our living spaces.

With the regal beauty that marble exudes, it is easy to forget that it requires regular care and maintenance to preserve its state, and if not properly cared for, it can be the cause of many headaches or heartaches. Let’s keep in mind that marble and all types of natural stone are geological formations that we transform into art pieces to adorn our homes. Marble in this case is highly porous making it very susceptible to Scratches, stains and damage especially when they are placed in high traffic areas.

Preventative care and regular maintenance are key in preserving our marble floors, countertops, and walls in pristine condition. Here are some important care tips that will make a difference in your marble floors, home, and soul:

• Respond immediately to any spill and dry properly even if the liquid spilled is water

• Never use store purchased cleaning products without knowing if they are designed for marble or natural stone floors. Chances are that the chemically rich products at home are not good for your marble floors and can cause irreversible damage.

• Avoid the use of acidic solutions like vinegar or lime juice when cleaning

• Less is more when caring for marble floors. A cloth with damp warm water is the best homemade “product” to care for marble. At the most, a drop of neutral soap can be used in a mix of water where the cloth will be soaked in.

• Routine professional care is necessary to conserve marble in perfect condition, make a maintenance plan with a trusted professional that accommodates to your needs.
