Purchasing marble benchtops in QLD can be a long process and a bit of an investment, so once you have the piece in your home you will want to learn how to care for it properly. This will help it look newer for a longer period.
Many people do not realise that marble is porous, meaning it absorbs what it comes in contact with. This means that spills of both food and liquid should be cleaned up quickly. It is actually quite easy to clean marble and keep it looking great, as long as you know the proper items to use.
Choosing the right cleaner is the first thing you should do. The label on the cleaner will tell you if you can use it on marble; many cleaners specify on the front that it is great on marble or granite.
Do not overuse the cleaning product. A small amount (about the size of a dime) should be sufficient to clean your entire benchtop. It is also best to use a soft cloth so the marble does not become scratched. You can also use a regular washcloth.
If the spill is not acidic, you can simply wipe it up with a paper towel or a soft cloth. As long as it is thoroughly dried, there will be no problems.
Once or twice a month, you should also consider polishing the marble. There are many commercial products available that make the process easier. Also consider sealing the marble again once every few years to keep it free from damage. All of these steps will keep marble benchtops in QLD homes looking nice and new for many years.
