Marble is becoming more popular flooring for kitchens, grand entryways and bathrooms which has caused a rise in the demand of marble care products. Marble floors are not difficult to maintain but they do require proper upkeep. The floors should be kept free of grit and dirt with a soft broom and wiped periodically with a damp cloth. Approximately every six months they should be sealed and polished.
Marble floors are beautiful and to keep them that way they should be kept free from any dirt or grime. A soft broom or vacuum is all that is needed on a daily basis to keep the grit off the surface. If the floor becomes scratched, marble floor polishing will be required more frequently.
Sand and grit can actually be ground into the stone so it is important to wipe away debris frequently. If you have been walking in dirt or mud you should remove your shoes before walking on the marble floor. Materials such as sand are extremely abrasive and can easily scratch the surface of the marble. Once the surface has been scratched it is easy for dirt to become embedded into the scratches.
In most cases all that is needed to keep your marble floors in great condition is a cloth or mop that has been dampened with warm water. With the ever-increasing popularity of this type of flooring material, more and more commercial marble & stone polishing products are becoming available. Even though sweeping and periodic washing with warm water is enough to keep the floor in good condition it is always a good idea to have a marble floor cleaning & polishing solution handy for both regular cleanings and accidental spills.
Most homeowners know that vinegar is a great household cleanser, but it should not be used to clean marble. The acid in vinegar can do serious damage to the surface; this is true for even soaps and mild detergents. It is highly recommended that marble floors be cleaned with a special cleanser. Warm water can be used if the special cleanser is unavailable.
Every couple of months it is a great idea to use an MB Stone Care marble and stone cleanser. This product will make the floors shine as well as protect them from dirt and grime and make the floors easier to keep clean on a regular basis.
