Everyday cleaning
Dust with a soft dry cloth. For marks, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of pH-neutral soap, then dry immediately — standing water dulls a polish over time.
What to keep away from it
- Lemon, vinegar, wine and other acids — they etch marble permanently
- Bathroom and kitchen cleaners, bleach, scouring powder
- Abrasive pads and steel wool
- Prolonged direct sunlight on coloured inlay
Inlay work
Set stones are polished flush with the marble. Clean them the same way you clean the marble; never pick at an edge with a fingernail or a blade.
Restoring shine
A marble-safe wax or stone polish once or twice a year brings the surface back. Test it on the underside first.
