Protecting and cleaning your marble products is paramount to its longevity. Marble is a naturally porous stone, and with the correct aftercare it will retain its elegance and durability for decades. To ensure your marble continues to perform at its best, it’s important to follow a gentle yet consistent maintenance routine.
-
Clean weekly, and after every use using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive tools - a light, delicate pressure is all that’s required.
-
Dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning or rinsing. This enhances the marble’s natural sheen and prevents water marks.
-
Due to its porous composition, marble is more vulnerable to dulling, staining and chemical etching. Deep stains may require professional re-grinding and polishing by a stone specialist. Significant cracks or deep chips may compromise structural integrity and could necessitate full replacement.
-
Address spills immediately. Liquids can seep into the stone quickly, especially substances with high acidity or pigment, so prompt cleaning is essential.
-
Annual sealing is crucial. We recommend having your marble homeware or bathroom pieces sealed by a trusted specialist at least once a year. Professional sealing protects against moisture intrusion, staining and long-term wear, helping to ensure the longevity of your investment.
