Regular Cleaning
Marble furniture exudes elegance and sophistication, but proper care is essential to maintain its timeless beauty. Follow these care guidelines to ensure your marble furniture remains pristine.
Cleaning tips​
Dust marble surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris.
Avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners as they can damage the marble’s surface.
When cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the marble surface. Gently wipe the surface to maintain its smooth texture.

Essential Cleaning ProductsÂ
Use Mild Cleaning Solutions
Use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner or a specially formulated marble cleaner diluted in water.
Dampen a soft cloth with the cleaning solution and gently wipe the surface in circular motions.
Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe the surface again to remove any soap residue, then dry with a clean cloth.
Avoid Acidic Substances
Marble is susceptible to etching from acidic substances such as lemon juice, vinegar, and certain cleaning products.
Immediately wipe up any spills containing acidic ingredients with a damp cloth to prevent etching.
Spills and Protective Measures
Protective Measures
Use Coasters
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect marble surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches caused by hot dishes, spills, and sharp objects.
Felt Pads
Place felt pads under decorative items and tableware to prevent scratching.
Rotate Periodically
If you have decorative items on your marble furniture, rotate them periodically. This helps ensure even exposure to light and wear, preventing uneven fading or discolouration.
Future Maintenance
Long Lasting Marble
Depending on the type of marble and its finish, sealing may be recommended to protect the surface from stains and etching. This will help protect marble from water rings or etching. Consult with a professional stone installer or marble specialist for guidance on the appropriate sealant and application method.
Marble is durable but can be prone to cracking or chipping under heavy weight or impact. Avoid placing heavy objects directly on marble surfaces and use caution when moving furniture to prevent damage.
Periodically polish marble surfaces with a marble-specific polish to restore shine and lustre. For best results use a product containing Carnauba wax. Waxing will help to protect the surface from stains caused by water or liquids.
Consider hiring a professional stone restoration specialist for deep cleaning, polishing, and maintenance of marble furniture, especially for intricate or heavily soiled surfaces.
