Marble Cleaning Regimen And Tips

In the world of flooring, apart from wooden floors that have become more popular recently, marble is one of the evergreen stars. It has been used to personify luxury and panache in the building of homes and floors, and a nice, glossy marble floor never fails to impress when walked on and watched.

For any marble floor to look spick and span virtually all the time, certain essential caring routines ought to be followed carefully.

Marble cleaning companies in Dubai by our company can assist in several processes to making sure marble looks clean and shiny, each with a defining purpose.

In order to clean the marble, one can use a combination of water and a dishwashing gel. This liquid can be used to clean the marble floor. Once this is done, use only water so that the remaining soapy substance is wiped away, and then dry the floor using a soft surface cloth, which will help to make sure the stains from dried water do not remain.

Precautions

Owing to the high maintenance nature of marble items, it is essential that when cleaning, one takes the necessary precautions. For example, using a highly abrasive brushing device or an industrial strength cleaning agent which is not particularly designed to be used on marble can do damage. In most cases these will either bring up scratches or bring out the porous nature of marble exteriors, thereby absorbing the liquid and affecting the surface’s shine.

Firstly, be careful about using mainstream cleaning products meant for general surface cleaning. It is best of course, to use liquids and items that are meant to clean marble itself, or natural flooring materials. For example, the liquids used to clean kitchen tiles are fairly strong in concentration since they are meant to get rid of tough tile stains and dirt. Using these on marble will affect its shine.

Avoid the use of DIY or home-based commonly used liquids for cleaning. This can include baking soda, vinegar, bleach and other very harsh liquids. These will do damage, and as a general rule, it is best to chose something that is neutral in terms of pH value, or at least close to neutral.

Preventive measures

Taking a page out of medical practice, it is said better safe than sorry. Even apart from cleaning marble, there are quite a few things one can do to prevent marble from being damaged. Most of these are fairly simple and apply to other expensive flooring as well. For example, the use of rubber mats under furniture and entrance mats to prevent the travel of dirt.
