Which type of Marble suits to your taste & style?

Taking care of marble countertops is not difficult when you know what to do. Whether you have chosen super white dolomite, calacatta viola, calacatta oro, or calacatta gold, following these tips will help keep your slab of marble looking beautiful for years. First, acidic substances can etch into the surface of a marble countertop, so avoid using acidic cleaners and acidic food items on the surface. Cleaners that contain bleach or vinegar should never be used on the countertop.

Instead, use gentle soap and warm water for regular cleanings. If a spill occurs, be sure to clean it up as soon as possible. Oils can be removed with a gentle cleanser or a few drops of ammonia. Organic stains from coffee and tea can be removed with hydrogen peroxide or ammonia. Paint stains need to be removed with a razor, and water stains and watermarks can be buffed out with steel wool.

Finally, sealants can provide an added layer of protection for the marble countertop.Sealants act as a barrier between the marble and other substances which can help reduce staining and etching. To check if it’s time to reseal the marble, place a few drops of water on the countertop. If it beads up, the sealant is still good; if it absorbs immediately, it’s time to reseal.
