Marble counters are stunning to look at and are more durable than almost any other stone material if you take care of it. There are good-quality marbles, such as the world-famous products from Carrara, Italy, are dense and relatively non-porous. However, because marble softer than granite or quartz, it sometimes allows scratches and chips, and allows oils and stains to seep into the stone.

We say that as long as you choose carefully, know what to expect, and care for white marble countertops, they can be a beautiful, functional choice for your kitchen design that lasts a lifetime

Do the following for the care & maintenance of marble:

1. Start with a good sealant.Marble is one of the more porous stones, so you have to protect the surface by keeping it well sealed. We recommend sealing marble every “6-12 months”
2. Clean daily—use a sponges and mild dish soap
3. An acidic kitchen liquid like lemon juice or vinegar will etch marble, leaving a dull, whitish mark where it has slightly eaten away the surface, even after the marble has been sealed. Avoid liquids such as this from sitting on the surface.
4. To Remove stains and etching- When cleaning with mild soap and water doesn’t work, use cornstarch to remove grease stains. This with bleach, applied with an abrasive sponge. That will remove the sealant and allow you to scrub down to the stain. Reseal after scrubbing.

4. Try baking soda or comet to reduce scratches.
