Marble conservation knowledge

Jan 20, 2020

The main components of marble are calcite and calcium carbonate. The hardness, acid and alkali resistance, and weathering resistance will be a little worse than that of granite. Special care should be taken when curing. Because its pores are larger than granite, its water absorption will be a little stronger. If the stagnant water stays on the stone for too long, it will absorb some of the water. If it cannot dry out in time, it will be relatively troublesome to clean up.


Slightly acidic and alkaline liquids, such as juice and coffee, cause more damage to marble. Usually there are spills. Wipe clean immediately and wash with water. Like some white marble, such as Guangxi white, big flower white marble should pay more attention to it, and daily cleaning should use neutral detergent as much as possible.


For floors where people walk frequently, marble floor tiles should be protected with a protective agent. Before the marble is put into use, a permeable waterproof and oil-proof protective agent is used for pre-protection, and it is best to protect it twice.

For dark, scratches like Cartier Grey Marble will be more obvious, because the color of the scratches is white. The maintenance of light-colored white marble like Guangxi white marble requires extra care and attention. If scratches occur, a professional stone maintenance company should be selected for polishing in time.
