How to Extend the Life of Your Marble Tiles
Overview
Marble, known for its elegance in architecture, furniture, and art, can be white or colored. While beautiful, it's also porous, making it susceptible to stains and acid etching. Promptly clean spills, much like caring for wood surfaces, and avoid placing drinks directly on marble to prevent rings.
Tips for Longevity
Sealing Marble
To protect marble from stains and soil, seal it with a high-quality paste or sealer. Remember, acids can etch marble surfaces, so avoid direct contact. Proper sealing allows for easy cleaning with a damp mop. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent solution and rinse thoroughly.
Stain Removal
General Stain Removal
- Use an absorbent material like a paper towel or tissue.
- Dampen it with a recommended chemical to dissolve the stain.
- Mix it with whiting to form a paste and cover the stain.
- Leave it on for 1 to 48 hours, depending on severity.
- Use plastic wrap secured by tape to keep it damp.
Specific Stains
1. Acid Spills: Quickly wipe up fruit juices or other acidic liquids. Clean the area with a wet cloth. If etching occurs, polishing may be necessary.
2. Oil Stains: For oils like butter or lotion, apply a fine absorbent powder such as whiting or corn starch. Brush off after a short time, and reapply if needed. Let it sit for 24 hours, then scrub with a hot detergent solution or wipe with an ammonia-dampened cloth. For stubborn stains, use a solvent like acetone in a well-ventilated area. Avoid sparks or flames.
3. Organic Stains: Use a wiping material soaked with 20% peroxide (hair bleach strength), adding a few drops of ammonia to tackle stains from tea, coffee, or dyes.
4. Rust: Use a commercial rust remover, following instructions precisely to prevent surface etching.
Maintenance Tips
- Regularly dust mop interiors with a clean, untreated dry mop.
- Protect stone surfaces from abrasive materials like sand, dirt, and grit.
- Place mats or rugs inside and outside entrances to reduce debris that can scratch floors. Ensure the mats have a non-slip underside.
By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the timeless beauty of marble tiles for years to come.
