Marble Stone Care
Honing, deep polishing, scratch removal, and stain extraction specifications for luxury marble.
Material Characteristic
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite. Its elegant veining and high density make it a hallmark of luxury kitchens and bathrooms. However, because it consists of calcium carbonate, it is highly reactive to acids and prone to surface abrasions.
Recommended Finishes:
High-Clarity PolishedHoned Matte / Satin (Easier to maintain)Acid-Washed
Common Surface Issues
Natural stone requires proactive care. Watch out for these surface vulnerabilities to prevent irreversible deterioration.
Chemical etching: Rapid dulling spots from acidic exposure (citrus, vinegar, cosmetics).
Surface scratches: Quartz dust or grit underfoot easily abrades high-gloss finishes.
Oil absorption: Grease, food oils, and coffee absorb quickly, creating yellow shadows.
Care Guidelines
Follow these specifications to double the lifespan of your surface finish and maintain chemical barrier integrity.
Always use chopping boards; never place citrus directly on marble bench tops.
Blot spills immediately; do not wipe, as this spreads acidic contents.
Never use standard household cleansers or window sprays.
