Keep your Marble dust-freeOrdinary dust particles will obscure the natural beauty and appearance of your marble or polished natural stone. Dry-dust surfaces regularly using a soft, non oily cloth or cloth mop (see "Sh-Mop").

 Clean your Marble carefullyWash Marble surfaces with cool, clean water. Mop or wipe with mild cleaning solution (see "One step ") using short overlapping strokes. Rinse thoroughly with clear water to avoid streaks or soapy build-up.

Use a Separate MopIt's best to use a clean mop on marble or terrazzo floors, one that is free of harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners (see "Sh-Mop").Tend to spills immediatelyAcidic spills will mar surfaces quickly. Sponge up spills from citrus juices, sodas, wine and alcohol using fresh, clean water. If necessary your regular marble cleanser may be used (see One step "). Note: Wet marble can be very slippery.

Never add vinegar to cleaning solutions

Vinegar chemically reacts with the calcium carbonate in marble and strips the shine. Permanently etching the surface. Use gentle, neutral cleaners (see "One step ").
