The Best Marble Cleaners
- pH-neutral stone cleaners designed for marble
- Mild, colourless dish soap in warm water
- Microfibre cloths and soft mops
Avoid: vinegar, lemon, bleach, ammonia, bathroom acids, abrasive powders and coloured soaps.
Daily Care Basics
- Dust or wipe daily to remove grit
- Wipe spills immediately — especially acidic and coloured liquids
- Dry after cleaning to prevent water marks
- Use coasters, trays and placemats
Floors
- Daily: dust-mop or vacuum with a soft brush to remove sand and grit.
- Weekly: damp-mop with a pH-neutral marble floor cleaner.
- Entrance mats: trap dirt before it reaches the marble.
- Furniture pads: prevent scratches.
- Periodic polishing: professional grinding and polishing every few years restores shine.
- Sealing: after polishing and periodically.
Kitchen Counters
- Clean after every use with mild soap and water
- Use cutting boards and trivets
- Keep oil bottles, pickles and lemons on trays
- Seal every 6–12 months
- Consider a honed finish to hide etching
Bathrooms
- Wipe vanity tops daily and dry around taps
- Keep toiletries on trays
- Ventilate to reduce humidity and mould
- Use marble-safe soap scum removers
- Never use toilet cleaners or acids near marble
- Re-caulk joints regularly
Exteriors
- Choose honed or brushed finishes outdoors for grip
- Rinse periodically to remove dust and bird droppings
- Seal against rain and pollution
- Avoid acidic cleaners and pressure-washing at close range
Removing Stains
Use poultices — baking soda with water for oil; with hydrogen peroxide for organic stains on light marble — and marble-safe rust removers for rust.
