DIY Marble Cleaning for Pembroke Pines Homes and Businesses
Home and business owners in Pembroke Pines who have marble floors face an ongoing challenge cleaning marble. Marble is a beautiful stone and has become very popular in both homes and businesses but it is also a relatively fragile material that requires special and frequent cleaning.
Marble is exceptionally porous which means it will absorb stain causing liquids (including rinse water) and can be scratched or etched by something as small as a grain of sand. To prevent damaging or staining your expensive flooring it's recommended that you sweep or dust the surface daily to remove dirt before it has a chance to build up and cause damage.
At some point even the most fastidious cleaner will have to mop the surface. The key to mopping marble without staining it is using a minimal amount of water and a ph neutral cleaning solution like vegetable based dish soap. Wring out the mop before mopping and use only clear water as a rinse (may require two buckets). Once the mopping is complete dry the surface with a wool cloth.
When mopping can't clean stains or difficult materials (like hairspray) it's time to call a professional service to protect and restore your marble to its original condition. Experts agree marble should be professionally cleaned once a year or more frequently in high traffic areas.
