Being somewhat softer
than granite, marble needs to be looked after with a
bit more attention. Marble is usually found more in
low traffic areas such as bathrooms, credenza tops,
etc.
It has a softer, less stain-resistant
surface than granite and it should be treated
like a fine piece of wood.
Spills should wiped up immediately, and
coasters should be placed under beverage glasses
to prevent staining and etching.
Take precautions to avoid scratching the
stone.
Marble is especially susceptible to damage
from citric acids, alcohols and oils. With
proper care, its beauty will last for
generations.
