From daily cleaning to stain response, how to keep your marble pieces looking brand new.

With proper care, marble preserves its first-day beauty for generations. But its porous structure calls for mindful maintenance. Here are the golden rules for protecting your marble pieces.

Daily Cleaning

Use a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic products, lemon and vinegar, as they leave dull etch marks.

Treating Stains

Blot spills of wine, coffee or oil immediately with a damp cloth. Absorb rather than scrub.

Sealing

Apply an impregnating sealer once a year to protect the surface against water and stains.
