How To Clean MarbleWe're asked all the time how to clean marble and how to keep them looking great all year around. We simply tell them to damp mop frequently with warm water or any neutral cleaner and dry with a cotton or microfiber cloth. Marble safe neautral cleaners can be bought at any tile store or on the internet.
When I do a search on the web of how to clean marble, I read over and over how marble is so delicate and you can only use certain cleaners to clean it. Baloney! The only thing to really be careful is any acidic (vinegar) or very akaline (undiluted bleach) chemical. Really, hot water alone or a diluted pH neutral cleaner added is certainly enough to keep your marble floor clean. Don't be afraid of your marble floor. Knowing how to clean marble safely is easy. Keeping your marble floor sealed is also important to prevent from any possible staining that can occur due to spills. Sealed marble will also help keep them cleaned as the sealer fills any dirt collecting pores. One thing to note about how to clean marble and how to keep them looking great is, if they have a polished finish, what dulls the finish is an accumulation of small scratches. Remember we track in dirt and sand on the bottom of our shoes, which we then walk on, scratching the marble. Our recommendation would be to remove outside shoe wear and have indoor slippers to help preserve your polished finish. This practice will slow down wear on a marble floor and also keep the rest of the house cleaner too.
