Cleaning Marble Showers
Cleaning marble showers and sealing them is something you should be doing at least once a year.
All that water in an unventilated space is the perfect place for mildew and fungus to grow and of course
soap scum doesn't clean easily.
For us the biggest challenges with cleaning marble showers, is the soap scum build-up. We use soap
scum removers that are marble safe to help us dissolve the soap scum.
Our recommendation for maintaining a marble shower is to use a squeegie to wipe down your marble surface after each use.
It's not hard to clean your marble shower and if you keep it sealed properly, you shouldn't have to
worry about unwanted stains.
If you aren't sure if the cleaner is marble safe, test in an inconspicuous
area before applying to the marble surfaces.
How to Clean Marble Showers
Cleaning marble showers is the same as cleaning any natural stone and isn't a hard task.
Don't be worried about damaging your stone.
We always recommend neutral cleaners for all natural stone surfaces and that includes cleaning marble.
Soap scum will be the hardest part to clean as it's invisible to see, and acutally dulls your polished marble tiles.
Check out our resources page for website on where to find a marble safe soap scum remover.
Spray on your cleaner from top to bottom. You're going to have to keep wetting the walls, as
you want to let the cleaner start to emulsify the soap scum, mildew and dirt.
Scrub the marble walls of the shower with bristle pads and rinse with hot water several times.
Even with a soap scum remover you will see that it won't dissolve or scub off very easily.
One way we deal with this problem is by scraping the marble tiles with new 3 inch razor scrapers.
If you decide you want to do this, be very careful not to scratch the marble tiles.
Once the soap scum is removed, you will see the polished finish on the marble tiles return.
