Tips for Cleaning Marble

* In case anything spills on a marble surface, wipe it with a damp cloth almost immediately. The more you let the spill sit, the more stubborn will the resultant stain be.

* While wiping marble, always make use of a damp rag. Thereafter, buff-dry it with a chamois cloth.

* For removing stubborn stains from marble surface, make use of neutral, non abrasive cleaners, like acetone, hydrogen peroxide & clear ammonia.

* Mix liquid dishwashing detergent with some warm water. Take a sponge, dip it in the solution and use it to clean your marble. Thereafter, buff-dry it with a chamois cloth.

* In case your marble has become dull, you can brighten it once again by using a commercial marble cleaner and polish.

* For removing rust stains from marble, a commercial rust stain remover is the best. However, do not let it sit on the marble for too long.

* In case of organic stains like tea, coffee or soft drink, use a poultice soaked with 20 percent peroxide and a few drops of ammonia.

* If oil stains on marble are bothering you, dust the area with an absorbent fine powder like whiting or corn starch and let it stand for 24 hours. Thereafter, wipe with ammonia-dampened cloth, rinse and wipe-dry.

* After cleaning marble, polish it with marble polish containing tin oxide. In case of marble floors, you can also use a stone sealer.

thanks for the tip.
Marble floors should be cleaned using a pH neutral solution and a soft, clean cloth. Another option is to dissolve a few teaspoons of baking soda in a quart of water and then use that as your mop water. Make sure to sweep your floor to get all the excess dirt off before you mop.
