Best and Safest Marble Counter Top Cleaning Agent
by Eaine
QUESTION:What is the best and safest marble cleaning agent for bathroom countertops?ANSWER:Well our favorite product for cleaning marble and stone in general is this Granite Countertop & Marble Cleaning spray. Cleaning marble bathroom countertops is no different than cleaning a kitchen countertop.We've found this product to be the best, most effective, totally safe for marble and it's cheaper than most others. Here's why.... As you've probably learned, you should not use any type of abrasive for marble cleaning. And you can't use common generic cleaners like bleach, vinegar and ammonia either since they will etch marble leaving dull and discolored spots. Also bad are nearly all name-brand cleaners. Windex, 409, Tilex, kaboom.... nearly all such household cleaners are too harsh for cleaning marble and will also etch. Unfortunately, even some cleaners labeled "for marble" are very poor performers. Most of these tend to be generic type cleaners with a "marble" label sold in some stores. Granite is a little more forgiving and will not etch immediately with use of such products, but that's almost worse since you won't notice the damage and dullness for months to years. One day you look at your tops and think... "geez these used to be real shiny". And that requires professional help to re-polish, unlike marble etching which can almost always be repaired by the homeowner using the ETCH REMOVER / Marble polishing paste (polished marble only). So, the best product or agent to use for cleaning marble, granite or any natural stone is a specifically formulated professional product safe for marble cleaning like the spray suggested above.
