Bathroom Marble Care

QUESTION:

Do you need to take special precautions with a marble countertop in the bathroom?

ANSWER:

NO... that is nothing different than the guidelines detailed on the marble care & cleaning page.

If it's polished, it may be plenty stain resistant and not need a sealer, so be sure to test it before you go to the trouble.

Remember though that you need to avoid exposing the marble countertops to acidic and/or alkaline products, which includes most cleaners not formulated for marble and many normal bath products like some toothpaste, shave cream, perfumes, etc. Such products can etch or dull the shiny polish. Use a stylish tray to store such things or keep in a drawer.

Sounds troublesome, but we have white Carrara marble in a guest bath, so we have no control over what happens in there and it still looks great.

Just know what you are dealing with and maintain accordingly. Most often damage comes from user error. You wouldn't clean your wood furniture with 409 would you?

I highly recommend MB Stone Care Products to maintain all your marble, stone and granite countertops and floors in optimal condition. I've used other good products (Stone Tech, Miracle) but found MB Stone Care is the most reliable and effective.
