Grey marble in bathrooms demands gentle care to prevent etching and preserve shine. Always test any method in an inconspicuous area first and opt for pH-neutral cleaners.
Daily Maintenance for Prevention
- Wipe surfaces immediately after use with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
- Blot spills quickly to avoid stains from cosmetics or toiletries, as marble is porous.
- Use only soft, non-abrasive cloths and avoid harsh scrubbers to protect the finish.
Quick Cleaning Hacks
- Mix warm water with a few drops of pH-neutral dish soap; apply with a damp cloth, rinse thoroughly, and buff dry for instant shine.
- For light stains, gently rub with a paste of baking soda and water, rinse immediately, and dry to avoid residue.
- Steam clean cautiously on low settings to lift grime without damage.
Ensuring Lasting Shine
- Apply a marble sealer annually to protect against stains and enhance luster.
- Polish monthly with a dedicated marble polish to restore gloss and fill micro-scratches.
- Control humidity and ventilation to reduce mineral deposits and maintain surface integrity.
