You take care of your family of course. But you also take care of the material things in your life, like clothes and cars, jewels and tools, because they’re an investment, and a source of pride, or practicality.
If you’re going to make natural stone a flooring solution for the way you live, you owe it the same care and attention. Maintain your natural stone flooring investment and it will reward you and your home for many, many years to come.
Marble is softer and more porous than most stone; it not only scratches easily, but also etches easily. Marble is sensitive to acids in many different food items (including citrus products, sodas, etc.) and the chelating agents in household cleaners. Just like ceramic tile, natural stone is one of the most abused and overlooked floor and wall surfaces in the home simply because of the care involved in cleaning it. An etch mark in a polished marble or travertine floor can be a constant reminder that grandmother wasn’t always right about the merits of cleaning with a solution of vinegar and water.

Maintenance: For Natural Stone Floors, The Do’s and Don’ts
Damp mopping your natural stone floor will help keep it looking beautiful for life. Your retailer or manufacturer can suggest specialty products designed for use on your natural stone floors. These are highly recommended.
You should always blot spills immediately. A neutral pH detergent or pure soap, such as Liquid Ivory, and warm water, can be used for spills or periodic complete cleaning. Be sure to rinse the floor thoroughly and dry the surface with a soft, clean cloth. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Change your rinse water frequently.
Do not use products that contain lemon juice, vinegar or other acids on marble, limestone or travertine.
You should avoid using products that contain abrasive cleaners, cleansers (dry or soft) or any ammonia-based cleaners on any stone. These products will dull its luster. Also, do not use retail grout cleaners, scouring powders or bathroom tub and tile cleaners on your stone.
For heavens sake please don’t mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas. To remove algae or moss from your stone in outdoor pool, patio or hot tub areas, flush with clear water and use a mild bleach solution.
