Marble flooring is one of the most used types of flooring for both homes, office and organization buildings, etc. What makes marble flooring so extremely popular are its qualities, which makes it unique and preferred by people all over the world.
One of marble’s best characteristics, which makes it such a desired type of flooring for both office buildings and homes, is the fact that it looks really fine and gives an exquisite touch of luxury to the entire place, especially when it matches the overall interior design of the place. This type of flooring may be used for both kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and  dining-rooms, making these rooms look different every time. And the great variety of colors marble comes in, gives you the opportunity to choose the best marble flooring for both your home and office, adding not your individuality but also meeting your personal requirements about the appearance of the whole place.

Marble is also well-known for its hypo-allergic properties, which is probably the reason why it was so commonly used in most hospitals until replaced with porcelain. The hypo-allergic property of marble surfaces is pretty favorable when it comes to cleaning the house easily, and this may turn out to be in your favor, especially when you don’t have much time. On the other hand, marble is a material, which is pretty suitable to be used for flooring at houses and apartments, especially for families with small children, because it provides you with a surface, which is pretty safe and hygienic. Not to mention the fact that it does not give microbes and bacteria the opportunity to survive due to the fact that marble surfaces do not allow bacteria to penetrate deep inside and ruin their appearance. However, this does not mean that they are impenetrable for dirt.

So, when it comes to cleaning the marble floors and surfaces at home, you need to know how to do it properly in order to prevent any damages to marble surfaces. Most people make a couple of mistakes when cleaning the marble surfaces at home, which may lead to serious damage of the floors that can’t be undone easily.

Mistake number one to avoid when cleaning marble floors and surfaces

Most people think that marble surfaces are hard enough and don’t require a lot of maintenance, which is not true. In fact, as hard and ideal as marble may look like, it needs regular cleaning and maintenance in order to keep its sparkle and beauty. The hypo-allergic characteristics of marble surfaces does not mean that you can leave it without cleaning. Wiping it up with a piece of paper or something like that is also not enough.

A spilling over a marble surface or flooring, which is not cleaned up on time, may have some unwanted consequences, especially if the fluid spill has a color. Keep in mind that white marble is very easily stained, so do not forget to take care of the spilling and stains on your marble floors at home in order to make sure they are always clean, fresh and shining.

Mistake number two to avoid when cleaning marble floors and surfaces

Remember the fact that marble flooring and surfaces can be easily damaged if you don’t use the proper cleaning products. It is true that these surfaces have the properties, that make them relatively easy to clean, but this does not mean that you can clean them with literally any detergent you can think of. This applies especially to some acids and aggressive or abrasive detergents. Using these kinds of cleaning products may seriously affect the hardness and beauty of the marble floors and surfaces at your home.

So, in order to avoid any problems, try to use cleaning products with a neutral pH that won’t have any negative effect on the surfaces and will prevent any damages, cracks, etc.

Mistake number three to avoid when cleaning marble floors and surfaces

When you need to thoroughly clean your marble surfaces at home you need to pay attention to every step of the process, including the process of impregnation and sealing, which makes the life of your marble flooring longer and makes its cleaning and maintenance a lot easier. Make sure that you seal the marble flooring at least once a year and always check if there are any cracks or other problems with the surface. Also, do not forget to polish it when done cleaning in order to make it look spotless.
