Marble tiled floors look incredible. While they offer a statement for any home or business, they do require an understand of how best to clean marble. Marble is a natural stone and therefore as a natural material, needs products and techniques that will compliment it. While hard-wearing, its delicate nature demands great care to maintain its lustrous appearance.
- General cleaning of marble floors starts with preventative care. Therefore, sweeping and dusting removes particles and debris. Without removal, these can be left to scratch and dull the surface.
- It is important to take care of liquid spills when they occur. These, if left, will likely stain the surface.
Here’s some more general marble cleaning tips:
- You need to select a cleaning solution that is pH neutral; acidic cleaning products will damage your marble floor
- Using acidic cleaning solutions should be avoided at all costs. These products will damage the surface, making it dull and can even scratch it
- Try not to over-wet the floor, putting too much water on the floor can affect the surface coatings which work to protect the floor
- Make sure to test that your marble floor is appropriately protected. This can be done by dropping water onto the surface. If it soaks in, then it is likely that your floor needs re-coating. If your stone floor is protected, the water droplets will stand on the surface
