General Cleaning: What You Need

Step-by-Step General Cleaning
Step 1: Dust First
Remove dust and grit with a dry microfibre cloth or soft mop. Grit acts like sandpaper on marble.
Step 2: Mix Soap and Water
Add a few drops of mild soap or a measured amount of pH-neutral stone cleaner to warm water.
Step 3: Clean
Wipe the surface with a damp (not soaking) cloth or mop.
Step 4: Rinse
Wipe again with clean water to remove residue.
Step 5: Dry
Dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots and streaks.
