Marble Regular Maintenance

Any stone needs a good planned maintenance schedule in place to preserve it and to delay restoration procedures for as long as possible.

Daily maintenance will consist of dry dust mopping using a clean rayon mop. Regular damp mopping is recommended for basic everyday spills. Deeper cleaning should be carried out using good quality stone soap with just fresh water. It is important that soap residue doesn’t build up on the surface of the stone.

Spills should be wiped promptly to prevent staining or etching. Acid based chemicals used for household cleaning can damage the surface of marble and other calcite stones on contact. Similar acid based foods (wine, orange juice, tomato…) may damage but can be prevented if not left to sit to long.

Professional regular maintenance will be required to maintain a good shine on the stone in your New Yok City home or office. This will involve the use of specialized polishing techniques. Any staining which has occurred can also be removed using poultice stain removal and other specialized methods prior to polishing.
