Taking Care Of Polished Marble Floors
As with many heavily polished tiles or stones (excluding diamond), marble
can mark. You wouldn't like this to occur. Consequently you can take a
few precautions.
Maintain furniture from scratching the marble floor by placing them on
rugs or carpets. If that's not really possible, make sure you utilize pads or
furniture protectors underneath the feet of the tables, dining chairs, or
china units. These items can be found in various sizes and dimensions at
most hardware shops. It's additionally possible to cut felt pads and fasten
that onto the underside of the furniture. That way, if you need to move a
heavy couch, it won't scratch the surface of the marble, and you'll be able
to effortlessly glide it to its new position.
Use dust
mops - not brushes - to sweep up surface dust or
debris from
your marble. Spray the actual dust mop with anti-
static spray.
That will ensure less effort to attract and hold the
dust particles.
When the
marble requires
mopping, work with
a clean,
new mop dipped in
fresh clean warm
water which
contains a drop of dish
washing liquid
(fairy or similar). Squeeze out as much
water as you can
and gently damp mop the whole surface
of the marble floor.
You should dip your mop regularly into the
clean water and
wash out the dirt. Avoid using this mop
for any other
flooring, other than the marble floors.
Don't leave water upon the surface of the marble when you are through
damp mopping. Make use of either clean terry cloth towels or even soft
paper towels in order to wipe up the moisture from the whole surface of
the floor. As soon as floor is completely dry, you may buff it with dry paper
towels to restore the shine.
