One of the most popular countertop options for your kitchen and bathrooms is marble. Marble countertops are beautiful, timeless, and stand out in any room that they’re added to. If you’re going to add a marble countertop to your kitchen or bathroom, you’re going to want to know how to clean and maintain them confidently.
Here are a few important tips to remember when cleaning your marble countertops:
Take Steps to Protect Your Marble Countertops
Because marble can be more sensitive than other stones, you’re going to want to take a few extra steps to prevent spills and stains. One great way to do this is by using coasters or hot pads underneath your glasses and other dishes. Coasters and hot pads will help catch any liquids or other food substances so that they won’t hit your countertop. If something does get to your countertop, make sure you’re cleaning it up immediately!
Keep Cleaning Simple
There is no need to use any intense cleaning supplies on your marble countertops. All you need is a soft cloth or sponge, warm water, and a neutral cleaner that’s made to use on stone. Never use an abrasive cleaner such as a dry cleaner or soft cleanser. Also, never use ingredients like vinegar, bleach, ammonia, or other general-purpose cleaners that you may use to clean other parts of your kitchen or bathroom.
Eliminating Dirt and Dust in Your Kitchen or Bathroom
If you’re looking to eliminate the dirt and dust buildup on your countertop, there are some preventative measures that you can take. First, always make sure you’re frequently dusting your countertops, islands, vanities, and floors. As an additional step, you can also place a small rug at your entryways to help trap dirt and sand that may spread across your home.
