how to maintain marble countertops?

Marble countertops are really a great addition to your home, not only do they look good, but they also look particularly tasteful. But do you know how to maintain it?

-Maintenance Methods

Marble maintenance can be divided into daily cleaning and regular protection. Daily cleaning is generally used every day after use with a wipe. Regular maintenance is to seal the marble.

-Daily Cleaning

First of all, choosing the right cleaner is very crucial. Marble is afraid of acids and alkalis, so never use those strong acidic or alkaline cleaners as they can harm the marble surface. 

The best choice is a neutral cleaner or a cleaning product specifically for marble. This will clean the stains without damaging the marble. Pour the cleaner true catch on the countertop 

then wipe the countertop with a soft cloth, this will remove dirt and light stains. The cleaner will easily dissolve most everyday dirt while the soft cloth will not scratch the countertop. 

This simple step will keep your countertops clean and shiny.

Also: Marble is particularly sensitive to acids, such as lemon juice, vinegar, and wine, which should be wiped off as soon as they are spilled on the countertop, otherwise they can penetrate 

and leave unsightly stains. So, when you are busy in the kitchen, as soon as there is a spill, wipe it up immediately with a damp cloth

To prevent stains, using heat mats and coasters is also a good idea. Marble is also sensitive to heat, so hot pots and pans and bowls should not be placed directly on the countertop, 

and it's best to use heat mats to protect it.

-Regular Maintenance

Marble requires regular sealing. The main purpose of sealing is to prevent liquid penetration and stain formation. Marble is a porous material that easily absorbs liquids and stains, which can lead to stains and discoloration on its surface. By sealing, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the marble, preventing liquids and stains from penetrating into the stone. Sealing is generally recommended every 6 to 12 months. You can purchase your own sealer according to the type of marble in your home.
