Cheap Marble Cleaning Product

QUESTION:

What can I clean my marble vanity top with that is not expensive to buy?

ANSWER:

Well, that depends on what you consider expensive and also how well you want to clean and maintain your marble.

Most products are developed for specific uses on certain surfaces. You wouldn't use Windex on fine wood furniture would you? It's cheap and it will clean it, but it will also damage it.

I think you know that marble is no different. All kinds of cheap chemicals will clean it, but also damage it... so, when you ask for "cheap" I can only compare what is appropriate to clean marble with.

I recommend using MB-5 Stone Cleaner because it is perfectly formulated for cleaning marble safely, effectively and streak free so it looks great... it is also the cheapest marble cleaner on the market.

The only other appropriate alternative is hot water, which is perfectly fine. It may require a little more effort to remove any gunk on your countertops, but it will work safely and you can get a reasonably streak-free surface if you wipe it down with a dry cloth after cleaning.

Many will recommend using dish soap too, which won't hurt your countertop, but eventually a residue builds up and dulls the shine. No big deal... you'll need to clean off the soap scum with a marble cleaner, but it will take awhile to build up.

Bleach, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, etc. are cheap, will clean marble and may be used in specific problematic circumstances, but even then they often will damage the marble and regular use certainly will.

So, the cheapest is hot water, which is my primary method and then 2-3 times a week or as needed after a messy meal I use MB-5 Stone Cleaner. I don't use it up very quick, so it's pretty cheap on a yearly basis.

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.
