Protecting Your Marble Surfaces

Proper Sealing
To prevent stains, we use a premium 15-year sealer on marble surfaces at installation. We recommend resealing every 6-12 months, especially for surfaces installed before 2022. Visit our showroom for a complete line of impregnating sealers.

Daily Cleaning
Use marble-specific cleaners with a soft cloth for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleansers and pads to maintain the stone’s integrity. For honed surfaces, gentle cream cleansers work best, while polished surfaces require special care to prevent etching.

Stain Prevention
Marble, while elegant, can be prone to stains from oil, ink, and other substances if not promptly cleaned. Quickly addressing spills and using coasters can help maintain its pristine condition.
