Genuine Marble Care (good, safe guidelines for any stone / faux stone surface)

• Blot up spills immediately.

• Use coasters under beverages and wet items.

• Use a cleaner and polish formulated for marble surfaces.

• Avoid scouring powders and kitchen cleansers which are abrasive and will scratch marble.

• Do NOT clean natural stone products with vinegar, ammonia, or kitchen cleansers! Marble must be cleaned with neutral pH cleaners.

• Remove stains with only approved marble stain removers – call a professional first before using any product.

• Refer deep scratches to a professional.

• Waxing white marble could cause yellowing.

• Acidic juices can etch marble surfaces leaving dull spots. Marble surfaces can be harmed and stained by acids, even dilute acids. Common foods and beverages such as citrus juices, alcohol, vinegar, and other common items are acidic and can etch the surface of marble. Clean spills immediately!

• Consult a professional or the manufacturer before using waxes and sealants to maintain marble furniture.
