Sealing & Cleaning Marble

QUESTION:

I just navigated to your website & have found it to be extremely helpful already! I have one quick question though... I just bought a marble top dining table and would like to seal it & purchase a daily cleaner (am probably going to buy the STONETECH Bulletproof as well as the Revitalizer you mentioned in the article). Once I receive these, should I attempt to clean it with the revitalizer first? Or should I immediately seal it, then clean it once that has settled?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I've never personally owned & cared for any piece of stone before so I definitely need all the help I can get!

Thank you so much in advance!

ANSWER:

StoneTech makes good products and I also recommend MB Stone Care Products (see below).

But go ahead and clean it with the Revitalizer first a couple times and then seal it. Be sure to prepare well and follow the sealer directions carefully... don't let the sealer dry on the countertop. Remove the excess while still wet.

One coat should do you. Also, remember to use coasters, place mats and trivets to keep from etching the surface.

I also recommend Topical Polish/Shine Enhancer once a month or so for added protection against etching and to keep the marble super shiny!

Good Luck,
Ryan
