CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Marble is more porous, softer and less resistant when compared to granite. It is especially vulnerable to household acids like vinegar, mustard, catsup, citrus and numerous food-related products. Acidic substances can cause etching when they come into contact with marble. This chemical reaction removes marble’s natural and stunning polish.
Most liquids, if wiped up quickly, won’t stain marble. But liquids left unattended lying on marble for extended periods of time can leave a lasting stain scar. Like granite, marble needs to be sealed regularly. But with the right sealant and regular care, marble can stand the test of time and overcome its porosity.
