How to Polish Marble

Marble is a nice stone that offers a true beauty and elegance when applied to walls, floors, countertops and etc. Actually, the appearance of marble is not far different from the appearance of granite but the way they should clean or polish is much different. Marble is a sensitive stone. Moreover, it is also porous. This kind of stone is prone to cracks and scratches. Plus, it can be discoloured easily due to some spills of liquid. These form of damages can be prevented through a sealant. Avoid using chemicals or solutions without proper knowledge about it because marbles react immediately when strong chemicals fell/dropped on marbles. By means of proper cleaning as well as polishing, your precious marbles at home will look natural and shiny again just like the first day you bought it.

If you want to keep your marbles at home beautiful and with stunning shine, below are some tips to follow:

1. Get at least three tablespoon of baking soda. Mix it with one quart of warm water. Stir continuously until it turn out as a paste. Baking soda is a good solution, it is non-toxic thus highly versatile. Baking soda is not strong like the other chemical cleaners.

2. Next, you can use a sponge or an old cloth. Dip it to the solution and gently wipe it on the entire surface areas of the marble. Dry it with another clean old cloth or sponge. Wait for some hours.

3. Clean the baking soda solution. Use a clean wet old cloth, followed by a dry one. Do not use any product or marble cleaner especially if the solution has acid level. Always remember that anything acidic could certainly harm and damage your beautiful marbles. Vinegar is an example of acid, thus it is not advisable to use it as marble cleaner.

4. Simply wiping the marbles with a wet sponge or soft dust mop in a regular basis is really a good way to keep the marbles shiny and clean. Remove the stains, dots and discolorations by means of proper marble polishing.
