Stains Removal
Basic marble cleaning will keep your marble in good condition, but stains may make it necessary to clean your marble surfaces using special techniques.
If stains are left by tea, coffee, and soda, you can clean the marble using a solution of 20 percent peroxide.
Oil stains can be left by a wide range of materials, including foods and cosmetic products. You can remove these stains by using corn starch or other fine powders and allowing them to sit for a short time. Brush the powder away from the marble and then reapply a second coating. Let it sit overnight and remove with a brush dipped in hot water and detergent. Rinse with plain water and dry with a soft cloth.
If you have made the mistake of leaving metal on a marble countertop and need to get rid of rust stains, purchase a rust remover and follow the directions on the can or bottle to use it on your marble. Do not allow rust cleaners to stay on marble for a long period of time, as they can ruin the surface.
Investing the time and effort into maintaining your marble and promptly cleaning up any stains will help you to maintain the beautiful look of your marble furniture, countertops, and floors for a long time. This can help you reduce home repair costs and prevent having to replace your marble.
