While marble is a gorgeous and durable material, some extra care can help to preserve the beauty and functionality of your surface. Compared to granite, marble is softer and more porous, meaning you may see more scratches, cracks, stains, and dulling if it is not cleaned and maintained properly. To help your marble surface look great, be mindful of the following:
- Daily care of your marble worktop is essential. Be sure to wipe up any spills immediately as acidic foods and can quickly damage the marble. If you are using your marble worktop for food preparation, consider laying down a protective sheet or working on a large cutting board. Use placemats, coasters, and trivets under hot or cold plates, glasses, cups, or pots and pans.
- Dust your marble worktop at least once a week using a soft microfiber cloth. Clean your worktop regularly with a damp cloth and a cleaner designed for stone and marble. Avoid cleaning products that include acidic ingredients or are abrasive.
- Seal your marble worktops regularly. Sealing can help to prevent stains and other damage. When water fails to bead up on your marble worktop, that is a sure sign that it needs to be sealed again.
- Polish can brighten your marble worktop surface and can lessen the appearance of scratches or etched rings. Stone polish can revitalise a tired worktop and help to keep it in great condition.
