How to Make Your Marble Surfaces Shine Like New This Spring

The harsh winter months, with their cold blasts and indoor heating, leave a noticeable impact on the surfaces that grace our homes and offices, particularly the elegant marble.

It’s time to rejuvenate these surfaces, restoring their natural beauty and shine.

The Effects of Winter on Marble

The frosty weather brings with it moisture, ice, and the use of de-icing salts outdoors. These elements can find their way onto our marble surfaces, leaving stains and a dull appearance behind. The salts used on roads and sidewalks to combat ice can be particularly detrimental. When tracked indoors, these salts can cause chemical reactions with the calcium carbonate in marble, leading to pitting, rough spots, and a general loss of sheen.

Although essential for comfort, indoor heating systems can create a dry atmosphere. This lack of humidity can contribute to the marble losing some of its natural moisture, making it more brittle and susceptible to cracks and chipping.

Over time, these factors can lead to subtle, often unnoticed damage. Marble might start to lose its polished finish, and fine scratches and etches can become more apparent. These small imperfections, if not addressed, can accumulate, significantly reducing the aesthetic appeal and strength of the marble.

MARBLELIFE® understands that marble surfaces can age prematurely without proper care during and after winter. Therefore, we provide holistic care for your surfaces, including expert services and scientifically formulated products that are competitive and capable enough to rejuvenate your surfaces.

Spring Cleaning and Marble Care
Spring is the perfect season to give your marble surfaces the care they deserve after the long winter months. This will ensure that they are spotless, protected, and ready for the year ahead. The goal is not just to clean but to revitalize your marble surfaces.

For daily upkeep, use Marble & Travertine InterCare Cleaner Spray, which is gentle and effective in cleaning without harming the marble’s delicate surface. Regular use of this spray can help maintain the stone’s natural sheen and prevent the buildup of dirt and grime.

For commercial spaces or areas with higher traffic, it’s recommended to use Marble and Travertine Cleaner CONCENTRATE. This concentrated cleaner is tailored for larger spaces and deeper cleaning needs, effectively lifting stains and restoring the marble’s natural appearance.

Grout cleaning is often overlooked but is crucial in maintaining the overall aesthetic of tiled marble surfaces.

For this, it’s best to use MAXOUT Tile & Grout Cleaner and Cleaner Concentrate.

These products are adept at removing dirt and stains from grout lines, ensuring that the entire surface looks refreshed and rejuvenated.

When cleaning marble, always use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Apply the cleaner, let it sit for a moment to break down dirt and stains, and then gently wipe it away.

For grout, use a soft brush to scrub gently, ensuring that the cleaner penetrates and cleans effectively.

After cleaning, rinse the surface with water to remove any cleaner residue, which can dull the marble’s appearance over time.

Finally, dry the surface with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots, ensuring your marble surfaces are clean and beautifully shiny.
