Caring for Your Marble Countertops
Marble is a calcareous stone that requires a bit more attention than granite or quartz. With proper care, marble countertops maintain their beauty for generations:
- Seal regularly: Professional-grade sealant protects against staining. Reseal every 6 to 12 months.
- Clean gently: Use a mild, pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or citrus-based products.
- Wipe spills promptly: Marble can etch from acidic substances. Quick cleanup prevents lasting marks.
- Use cutting boards: Marble is softer than granite. Cutting boards help prevent surface scratches.
- Embrace the patina: Over time, marble develops a natural patina that many homeowners appreciate as part of its character.
