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.

Coming to stone benchtops, they should not be used as a work bench. Clean the surface as soon as any mess occurs. If proper care is taken, the benchtops will look bright and beautiful for a life time.
