Protecting Marble Table From Scratches

QUESTION:

Hi, I bought a natural stone marble table, it is in the kitchen and is used a lot. How can I protect it from scratches? It also is starting to get small holes in areas, the table is very matte and I would like to keep it that way, it is only 8 months old?

ANSWER:

The only way to protect any surface from scratches is simply to be careful. Marble is much softer than granite and will scratch more easily, but it is still stone and if you are getting a lot of scratches then you are just being too rough with it.

Now, that's fine really... you certainly aren't going to break it or ruin it, but it will age and acquire a more worn and rustic look with heavy use.

I'd suggest you get the Cleaning Marble Secrets Guide, which will teach you everything you should know about cleaning and maintaining marble including solving problems like scratches.

Good Luck,
Ryan
