Marble – Cleaning, Care And Repair
Many of you want to have a marble floor or marble statues in houses or offices. Marble for decades have been one of the popular materials for decorative and building works. This stone from the ancient period has been associated with aristocracy and luxury. If marble pieces are selected carefully and maintained properly then the house can get a luxurious appearance.
Marble can last several years if a person manages to handle it properly. It is a porous rock and gets stained easily. To retain the shine and luxury of marble one needs to follow some cleaning tips. One should clean the marble immediately if something is dropped on it. Beverage glasses placed directly on marble can leave moisture rings. So, one should avoid it.
Proper cleaning is required not only for the marble floors but also should be followed for the marble furniture too. Marble gets stained easily. If anything falls on marble then it should be wiped off immediately. The beverage glasses should be placed on the coasters to avoid the formation of moisture rings on the marble.
Marble surfaces should be cleaned after some weeks. It should be washed with lukewarm water and then should be dried with clean cloth. Depending on the type of soil, one can wash marble with detergent solution once or twice in a year. The detergent used for this should be mild. The surface should be rinsed properly and wiped dry. To protect the surface, one can add a light wax coating. Colorless wax should be used in this case. Many people apply marble sealer for the cleaning of marble. This will protect staining of marble and will also help in wiping off the soil easily.
To brighten up a dull marble surface one can use commercial cleaners and polishes for marble. One should purchase the marble cleaner, which is meant for the marble of United States. It is recommended to avoid imported cleaners as they can be hard on the marbles. Tin oxide or putty powder can be useful for polish of dull or etched surface. If the surface of marble is damaged severely then one can take the help of professionals to clean it.
As marbles get stained easily, a person who has marble flooring or marble decorative in the house needs to take proper care of stain removal. To remove stains from marble one need to make poultice with any white absorbent material like facial tissue, paper towel, blotter or napkin. This should be dampened with recommended stain removing materials.
Marble can get stained for various reasons. Organic stains are common in marble surfaces. To remove stains of coffee, tea, and soft drinks one can use some drops of ammonia on the absorbent poultice. Stains from oil or oily substances like lotion, hand cream and butter is also common in many houses. One should spread absorbent powder on the surface immediately after oil is spilled. Then it should be wiped with proper stain removing material. People sometimes complain rust stains in the marble surface. To remove these stains one can use any rust stain remover available commercially.
