There are certain ways in which you can always preserve the natural charm of your marble countertops. You should always use coasters underneath all the cups, glasses, and mugs that you place on a marble countertop. This is especially true of vessels that contain alcohol and juices of citrus fruits. In case your marble countertops are being used in the kitchen, you would be better off by using trivets and hot pads. You should do this in spite of the fact that by virtue of being a natural stone marble can withstand a fair amount of heat. You need to be careful with spills though.
Immediately
after food or liquids get spilled on the surface you should blot the space with
a paper towel. You can also use mild soap and water to flush the stain and then
rinse it a number of times. You should also dry the area with soft cloth in a
thorough manner and repeat as and when may be needed. In case your marble countertop is a
customized one, you should follow the aforementioned tips. In such cases you
should always use a mild dishwashing liquid, or warm water, or a stone cleaner.
Also in these cases, do rinse the surface thoroughly.
This
rinsing needs to be done after you are done washing. In this case you should
use a soap solution. Once this step is out of the way you should dry the area
by using a soft piece of cloth. When you are rinsing, you should try and change
the water being used for rinsing as frequently as you can. It is also important
that you stay alert to the possibility of spills and wipe them off immediately.
Otherwise they can leave a bad mark on the marble
countertop in your kitchen or bathroom.
