How to Clean and Care for Marble table?

Although marble is a beautiful and long-lasting stone surface for countertops, it requires special cleaning and care. It is made of calcium carbonate, which makes it prone to etching by acids. Because marble is softer and more porous than granite, you may notice more scratches, pitting, cracking, stains, and even dulling of the shine.

Daily Care 

Acid is the enemy of marble surfaces. Acidic substances can etch into the surface of the marble, leaving it dull and unimpressive. This is something to consider when selecting countertop cleaners. Detergent and vinegar are both acidic and abrasive cleaners that should be avoided, as are harsh scrubbing pads.

Cleaners aren't the only acidic substances you should keep away from your counters. Acidic foods, such as tomatoes, citrus, and other fruits, should also have limited contact with the countertop's surface. When preparing food, use cutting boards, bowls, and other methods to keep acid away from the marble.

Cleaning 

It may seem so difficult to clean marble without using abrasive cleaners, but it is not. Marble is simple to clean and keep in good condition. Gentle soap and warm water are sufficient to complete the task. Cleaning a marble countertop is as simple as washing it with a water and soap solution, wiping it with a wet, hot dish towel, and then drying it with an absorbent towel. 

Regular cleaning with gentle soap is all that is required to keep marble countertops looking great after regular use. If you make a mess, clean up any spills right away to avoid staining. The longer something is left on top of the marble, the more likely it will stain. For more serious and good cleaning check with your countertop company for their recommendations.
