Marble Maintenance

Deciding to go with the classic material of marble for your bathroom or kitchen countertops may be an easy choice. Choosing the right colors shape, and finish is a little trickier. But the hardest part? Knowing the proper care and maintenance for your new marble countertops at the Lake of the Ozarks. No matter what type of countertop material you choose, Metro Marble & Granite knows that care and maintenance of any material is extremely important. If you have marble countertops in your home, the best countertop company at the Lake of the Ozarks has put together a list of helpful tips to keep your marble looking its best.

Marble Care and Maintenance

First things first, the finish of the countertop can drastically help with the care and maintenance of your countertops. Marble is porous which makes it more prone to staining and etching. If you choose a polished finish, you need to be cautious when it comes to liquids on your counters as well as sharp objects. However, if you go with a honed (matte) finish, those little imperfections won’t be as noticeable.

Seal Your Countertops

Sealing a porous countertop is extremely important. Sealing marble will repel staining agents, but it won’t make your counters waterproof. When choosing your marble countertops, Metro Marble & Granite can help you decide which is the best sealant for you and your new counters. It’s important to reseal your countertops as often as necessary. When water no longer beads on the surface, you will know your counters need to be resealed.

Protect Your Countertops

There are certain harsh and acidic liquids that will etch marble. Those things include but are not limited to tomato sauces, and citrus juice, and of course vinegar. If any of these liquids are spilled onto your counter, do not let them sit, not even for the shortest amount of time. It’s also extremely important to use coasters, and of course cutting boards. Never cut directly on your marble countertops. You should also use pot holders and refrain from putting extremely hot pots or pans directly on your marble surface.

Clean Your Countertops

When it comes down to cleaning your marble, you will want to avoid using any cleaners that are abrasive or any that are acidic. The best way to regularly clean your marble countertops is to use warm soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth. Remember to clean up any spills as soon as they happen.
