Marble tile is becoming increasingly popular inside kitchens, bathrooms and entryway floors. It is known for refinement and sophistication, as an elegant look that carries upgraded benefits. Marble can also be incorporated into nearly any interior design. Offering unique patterns and colors, marble is a natural, soft stone. As a fairly durable stone, it offers resistance to fire and corrosion. Marble, however, does have a few weaknesses, such as when acidic compounds leads to etching and grit creates scratching. Marble tile is a remarkable addition for any floor especially with the mirror like finish when polished. Few, unfortunately, are properly taught on how to care for their marble floor in order to preserve the appearance and condition for the duration of its lifespan. With that in mind, we at Silver State Floor Restoration would like to elaborate on the basic care and maintenance for your marble tile.

Marble Care & Maintenance

1) Clear dust, dirt and debris off marble. It is essential that the dirt and debris gets are removed at least 2 days a week, but more often as advisable as the grit can cause scratches. To clear the dust and debris, use your choice of soft bristled broom, dust mop, or vacuum. Should you use the vacuum ensure the rotator bar is not spinning. A hard surface vacuum might be worth the investment to prevent accidental damage. Not only will the dust and debris risk scratches and etching but it will make the marble lifeless and dull.
2) Wipe spills and mop marble accordingly. Any substance spill, especially if they are acidic in nature, should be immediately wiped clean. Keeping the marble spotless only increases the beauty. Use a damp cloth to touch up any of the spots that might have been missed to keep the floor managed from spots, residues and potential stains following the sweeping routine at the end of the day. The marble tile may need a good wash once every week or two. To mop your marble tile, only use a cleaner specifically designed to clean it and always follow the directions on the label. Never use any DIY cleaning solutions that involve any amount of vinegar as is it is an acid-based cleaner. Additionally, never use mild soap-based cleaners, as they too can cause to damage. If you are ever in doubt, just use warm water to remove the residues and spots.
3) Professional marble cleaning and sealing. In addition to your own efforts for care and maintenance, professional services are just as important. To get the deep-rooted dirt and debris from the grout, schedule professional deep cleaning for your marble tile. Following the professional cleaning, marble should also be polished and sealed periodically. To offer the marble more protection from wear, the polish restores the shine and sealant act as a barrier.
