Marble is one of the oldest surfaces for floors, walls, columns, and countertops. But it’s also one that requires the most care.

Yet if you maintain your marble surfaces regularly, they offer one of the most luxurious and impressive surfaces anywhere.

The key to treating marble properly comes down to three essential steps:

1.) Cleaning

2.) Sealing

3.) Polishing

If your marble is treated with these three steps consistently, it can last practically forever.

Marble Polishing NYC — Cleaning

Like any surface used in homes and businesses, marble requires continual cleaning. Spills, stains, and other messes need to be cleaned up quickly and thoroughly, especially if they contain harsh acids that can permanently damage the finish of your marble.

Marble floors, walls, and columns ideally should be cleaned daily. Marble countertops should be cleaned after every meal preparation. Use cleaning products that are specifically designed for use on marble. Many common household cleaners and abrasives can actually harm your marble’s finish.

Marble Polishing NYC — Sealing

Your marble surfaces should be properly sealed when they are installed. Then they need to be regularly resealed to provide a barrier between the marble and potentially harmful substances. Even things like air pollution and dust can damage your marble.

There is no such thing as too much sealing for your marble. The more you seal your marble, the more protection you will have and the longer it will last.
