This results in the formation of a mosaic and crystals within the rock, forming beautiful forms. Marble can contain materials such as quartz, pyrite, graphite, micas and clay minerals. The rock can be found in various colours &#8211; from white or beige to blue, pink, red, green, black and even gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marble is a porous material, which makes it more susceptible to staining and scratching. Keep this in mind, as these specifics need to be considered when choosing a cleaning agent for your marble benchtop in the kitchen or marble bathroom tiles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_do_you_clean_marble\">How do you clean marble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marble has a funny way of looking rock-solid while secretly being a bit sensitive. It&#8217;s all about being gentle and consistent rather than aggressive. Using the wrong products or rushing the process can dull the surface over time, even if no damage shows up straight away. The good news is that everyday marble cleaning doesn\u2019t need specialist products or loads of effort &#8211; just the right method, done properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get rid of dust and grit<\/strong> &#8211; Before any water goes near the surface, deal with the dry stuff. Dust, crumbs, and tiny bits of grit might look harmless, but drag them across marble, and they\u2019ll scratch it up like sandpaper. A soft microfibre cloth works brilliantly, as does a dust mop or a vacuum with a hard-floor setting. This step is especially important on kitchen worktops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mix up a gentle cleaning solution<\/strong> &#8211; Grab a bowl or bucket of warm water and add a few drops of mild washing-up liquid. You\u2019re not making a bubble bath here \u2014 too much soap leaves a cloudy film behind. Skip the all-purpose sprays unless they actually say they\u2019re safe for marble. If in doubt, don\u2019t risk it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wipe gently with a soft cloth or mop<\/strong> &#8211; Dip your cloth or mop into the solution and wring it out well. The cloth should be damp, not dripping. Wipe the surface in smooth, easy passes and resist the urge to scrub like you\u2019re tackling burnt-on lasagne. Marble responds much better to a light touch, and pushing harder usually just leaves streaks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rinse with clean water<\/strong> &#8211; This is the step people skip \u2014 and then wonder why their marble looks a bit flat. Soap residue builds up over time and dulls the surface. Take a fresh cloth, dip it in clean water, wring it out, and give everything a quick once-over. Again, less water is more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry it straight away<\/strong> &#8211; Don\u2019t let marble air-dry if you can help it. Water spots are sneaky little things. Use a clean, dry microfibre cloth or soft towel and dry the surface completely. For floors, a dry mop does the job nicely. This step alone makes a huge difference to how good marble looks afterwards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do a quick final check<\/strong> &#8211; Once everything\u2019s dry, take a moment to look at the surface in the light. Any streaks or dull patches? A gentle buff with a dry cloth usually sorts them out. It\u2019s also a good chance to spot spills or marks before they decide to settle in for the long term.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marble_stain_removal_tips\">How to remove stains from marble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how careful you are, accidents happen. Stains can happen while you&#8217;re not at home, or you may miss tending to them right away. In this line of thought, here are some safe stain treatment methods that can be applied on both old or newly installed natural stones, which can help restore even a badly stained marble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple cleaning with water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you come home to a dry stain on the marble countertop, try to remove it with plain water before moving to harder detergents. Spray the spot with water. Leave it on for a couple of seconds to soften the stain. Scrub gently with a dry cloth until the spot is completely removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use baking soda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can&#8217;t remove the stain with water, add baking soda to create a mixture. In a small ball, mix baking soda with a couple of drops of water until you make a paste. The baking soda will disinfect and deodorise the surface. You can also add dish soap to the paste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply the mixture evenly over the stain without pressing too hard or trying to scrub. After all, <strong>baking soda is an abrasive cleaner and needs to be used with care<\/strong>.  Cover the area with plastic wrap and let it rest for twenty-four hours. After that, remove the plastic cover and use a damp cloth to wipe away the stain. If some parts of the stain are not cleaned, repeat the process until it&#8217;s completely removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use hydrogen peroxide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use hydrogen peroxide for stubborn stains. Pour a little peroxide over the stain. Cover it with plastic wrap and again, leave it for twenty-four hours. After that, remove the plastic wrap and wipe out the liquid with a dry cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#c10063;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#db007d;border-color:#ffccff;color:#ffffff;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> If your marble is dark coloured avoid using this method, as hydrogen peroxide can bleed the marble.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cornstarch for greasy spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a grease stain on the marble, sprinkle cornstarch until it completely covers the stain. The cornstarch will absorb any oil from the stain. Leave the powder for 30 minutes and wipe away with a dry cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marble_cleaning_tips\">Do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts of marble cleaning <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to preserving the fabulous look of the marble over the years is care and prevention. Marble should be regularly polished and sealed over the years to keep its bright look.

Use hot water and a soft cloth. Pour the water over the scratch and rub it smoothly. Shallow scratches should be rubbed away with this method. You can add dish soap to the hot water to generate more friction. After you finish scrubbing, wipe away the surface with a dry cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use fine-grain sandpaper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For deeper scratches, use fine-grain sandpaper and rub the area lightly. Avoid using rough-grain sandpaper, as it can create more cuts in the marble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use marble polishing powder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet the surface with water, and apply the creamy powder over the damaged area. When you&#8217;re done, rub it away with circular motions using a wet cloth. Scrub until the scratch goes away.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#dbdbdb;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;border-color:#ffffff;color:#202020;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;\"> <strong>Discover:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/cleaning-hacks-tips\/\">19 House Cleaning Hacks from Professional Cleaners<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-marble\">Types of marble and how to best care for them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marble is unique and comes in a wide range of colours and patterns.

It provides an elegant look to your home, and it&#8217;s straightforward to maintain because of its strong natural texture. It is often used in outdoor spaces, as well.

The black beauty (as it&#8217;s also described) is quite a strong material. It&#8217;s the perfect choice for floors and countertops because it cannot be broken easily. The Marquina marble is also easy to maintain &#8211; dust it regularly and clean spills as soon as they happen. Be careful with bleaching agents, though, because of the dark colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rojo-marble\">Rojo Alicante Marble<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rojo_Alicante_Marble.jpg\" alt=\"Rojo Alicante marble \" class=\"wp-image-5253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rojo_Alicante_Marble.jpg 780w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rojo_Alicante_Marble-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rojo_Alicante_Marble-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rojo_Alicante_Marble-770x350.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zetta Developpement \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Rojo Alicante marble, also from Spain, comes in rich red colours with white or grey veins.

This beautifully coloured stone is elegant, and it can be the perfect choice for living rooms or other high-traffic areas in your home. This type of marble is not so sensitive to acid, found in citruses and different kinds of foods. This marble cannot be sealed, unlike any other type of marble. Sealing usually makes the surfaces more stain-resistant. Because of this, it&#8217;s recommended not to be used in the kitchen for splashbacks or countertops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rosa-marble\">Rosa Portugu\u00e9s Marble<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rosa_Portugues_Marble.jpg\" alt=\"Rosa Portugu\u00e9s marble\" class=\"wp-image-5254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rosa_Portugues_Marble.jpg 780w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rosa_Portugues_Marble-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rosa_Portugues_Marble-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Rosa_Portugues_Marble-770x350.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fuel to your fire \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you can tell by the name Rosa Portugu\u00e9s comes from Portugal and appears in all shades of pink with grey, white and even dark streaks.

Sealing marble is a significant step for the maintenance of the stone. The reason it needs to be sealed is to protect it from absorbing any stains, especially grease. A common mistake is believing that because the marble is polished, it does not require any sealing. Polishing is only done to give a shiny look to the marble, and it does not protect it from dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said, let&#8217;s look into how to seal marble and extend its life. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#c10063;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#db007d;border-color:#ffccff;color:#ffffff;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> Marble should be resealed every three to six months to add protection. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How to seal marble<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check\" style=\"color:#28aa4f\"><\/i> Read the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions on the packaging of the sealer to make sure you follow the recommendation strictly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check\" style=\"color:#28aa4f\"><\/i> Then, apply the sealer over the marble surfaces with a brush or a clean cloth. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check\" style=\"color:#28aa4f\"><\/i> Let the sealer do its magic for a couple of minutes and wipe it off with a clean cloth. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add extra protection to the marble against stains by using spray sealant once a month. You will still need to reseal every couple of months and wipe out spills as soon as they happen. But the spray will give you more time to treat stains before they start to damage the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember, sealers won&#8217;t make the stone completely stain-proof. Only make it stain resistant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Marble is a beautiful natural stone, which is also a porous material that could easily absorb liquids and other substances.
