Maintenance of marble worktops

Care for your marble worktop

Marble is natural stone with individual patterns. It needs considerate use, particularly around acids.

Everyday cleaning

Use a soft cloth, warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner suitable for marble. Rinse and dry afterwards. Do not use vinegar, citric acid, acidic limescale removers or scouring products.

Remove spills promptly. Wine, citrus and other acidic foods can leave dull etch marks.


Protection and stains

Use cutting boards, coasters and trivets. Avoid dragging objects across the stone. Seek professional advice for deep stains, scratches or dull areas; do not sand or polish the surface yourself.

Sealing when needed

The need and interval depend on the stone, previous treatment and product used. Sealing can reduce liquid absorption but does not prevent acid etching. A fixed annual treatment is not appropriate for every marble surface.
