Marble countertops are beautiful and durable, but they require some special care to keep them looking their best. Here are some tips for taking care of your marble countertops:
- Clean up spills immediately: Marble is porous and can stain easily. So, it's important to wipe up spills as soon as possible. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to absorb any liquids.
- Use a pH-neutral cleaner: Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners on marble countertops as they can scratch the surface or etch the finish. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner designed specifically for marble.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals: Harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, and vinegar can damage the surface of the marble. So, it's best to avoid using them.
- Use coasters and trivets: To prevent scratches and heat damage, use coasters and trivets under glasses, dishes, and hot pans.
- Seal the countertop: Marble is porous, so it's a good idea to seal the surface with a penetrating sealer to prevent stains and damage. The frequency of sealing depends on the type of marble and the amount of use.
- Use cutting boards: To prevent scratches and damage to the marble surface, always use cutting boards when chopping or cutting food.
- Wipe down the surface regularly: To keep your marble countertops looking their best, wipe down the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
