Marble Floor Care and Maintenance Tips
Marble is a durable yet delicate natural stone that benefits from regular, gentle maintenance. Proper care helps preserve its polished finish and prevents damage from moisture, spills, and abrasive cleaners. Follow these tips to keep your restored marble floors in top condition:
-
🧴 Use Only pH-Neutral Marble Cleaners
Avoid acidic or harsh chemical cleaners that can etch the surface. Always choose pH-neutral solutions made for marble and use soft cloths or mops to maintain a streak-free shine.
-
🚫 Wipe Spills Quickly
Marble can stain if liquids sit on the surface for too long. Clean up wine, coffee, or oil spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth to prevent marks or discolouration.
-
⚠️ Skip Steam Cleaning
Steam can penetrate marble and weaken the bond between tiles or the sealer. Stick to gentle cleaning methods to avoid dullness and hidden moisture damage.
-
🔁 Reseal Every 12 to 18 Months
Regular resealing helps maintain resistance to stains and moisture. A new seal also enhances the marble's reflective quality and makes cleaning easier day to day.
-
🧹 Use Mats and Soft Brushes
Grit and debris can cause fine scratches over time. Place mats at entry points and sweep regularly with a soft brush or microfibre mop to keep the surface smooth.
-
📆 Book Professional Maintenance Checks
Over time, marble can lose some of its lustre or develop light marks. We offer maintenance and polishing services throughout Cardiff to keep your floors looking their best year-round.
