Marble is a product of nature. While all stone products from King are sealed, marble can etch when exposed to acidic substances like coffee, citrus, wine, tomatoes, alcohol, and juice. A stain, on the other hand, happens when a liquid infiltrates the marble, causing discoloration within the stone.
Here are some guidelines to maintain your marble:
Do's:
- Routinely clean the surface with a lukewarm, damp cloth, and then pat it dry
- Use coasters and boards as much as possible to avoid direct contact of food and drinks with the marble
- Absorb any spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth to prevent seeping into the surface. If needed, use a diluted mild soap solution to clean, then wipe it dry
Don'ts:
- Do not use harsh cleaners. A mild detergent or soap-free cleaner is the best choice
- Refrain from placing hot items directly on the stone surface. Use boards, trivets, or mats instead
- Scouring products should be avoided as they are abrasive and can scratch the stone's surface and damage the marble's finish
- Avoid using a vacuum cleaner for dust and dirt removal from marble, as the vacuum cleaner hose's edge can scratch the delicate marble surface
