The Most Important Things to Know About the Proper Care of Marble Countertops

Not all Marble Care Products are “Safe”

• Using harsh chemicals found in most household cleaners to clean your marble and granite countertops will break down the sealers and should be avoided.
• Never use solvents or cleaners like bleach, vinegar and ammonia since they will “etch” leaving dull and discolored spots.
• Also not recommended are nearly all of the common name-brand household cleaners, such as Windex, 409, Tilex, Kaboom, Lysol…. most, if not all of these household cleaners are too harsh for cleaning marble and will also etch.
• Many cleaners labeled “for marble” are not good performers. Many of these cleaners tend to be generic household cleaners with a “marble” label sold in some stores.
