Clean A Marble Table

A marble table requires some extra care when cleaning.


Marble is a beautiful stone to use on a tabletop, but it is important to clean a marble table properly if you want it to last a long time. Marble is different from other types of stone table surfaces -- it is very porous and shows stains more. If you clean a marble table with an acidic cleaning agent, the surface will pit and scar and be more prone to stains. Harsh detergents will ruin the surface of a marble table, so it's important to clean marble with gentle cleaning agents instead.


Instructions


1. Clean the marble table with warm water and a soft cloth for routine cleaning. Be sure to use a dry towel and mop up any remaining water. This will keep your marble table looking new and shiny.


2. Clean the marble table with a pH neutral cleaning solution for occasional heavy duty cleaning. Apply the solution according to the package instructions and clean the marble with a clean, lint-free cloth.


3. Dip a rag in a solution of four parts water to one part hydrogen peroxide to get rid of most stains. Lay it over the stain for four hours, then wipe the stain clean. Repeat as necessary.
