How to Clean Marble Countertops Safely

Marble exudes timeless beauty and elegance. It is one of the best materials to use for kitchen and bathroom countertops. However, it is important for a homeowner to learn how to clean marble countertops safely to ensure that its vibrance and beauty remains for a long time.

The truth is marble is not exactly a low maintenance material for countertops. That’s why many opt for quartz or granite instead. It is not heat resistant at all, which means you have to always be cautious when placing hot plates and pans on countertops. It can also easily chip. However, these disadvantages are preventable. After all, the pros of marble outweigh its cons.
