Marble,
no doubt, is the best option for beautification as it is available in
different attractive colors and wears an elegant look. But, it is far
more brittle and sensitive towards chemicals compared to granite. It
gets stained easily due to use of oil, acids or juices. Therefore, it is
advisable not to use marble in bathroom or kitchen. If acid or other
beverages are spilled, then such acidic materials should be immediately
removed from the stone surface. In case the surface already gets
imprinted or stained, polishing needs to be done. However, it definitely
gives a feel good effect when marble is used for table tops, floor,
shower or the surrounding of fireplaces though marble floor restoration
should be done at regular interval.
Natural
stone also absorbs unwanted chemicals and so it’s advisable to use a
protective sealer which seals the pores and prevents any form of
chemical or acid from entering into the inner layers of the stone.
Given below are some useful tips for protecting your marble and other natural stones:
- Immediately clean any form of spill to prevent damage to the surface.
- Use coasters under glasses carrying beverages or citric juices.
- Don’t apply cleaners that contain acid.
- Don’t use vinegar, ammonia or any kind of bleach.
- Dust the marble floor regularly.
- Don’t put any abrasive product on the stone.
- Don’t place boiling pot or anything hot directly on the stone surface as it might crack the stone.
