Don’t use an all-purpose cleaner on your tile unless it’s specifically marked as safe for marble.
If there is any standing water on your marble tile, wipe it up as quickly as possible.
Make sure the cloth or mop that you’re using to wipe off the soap isn’t too wet. Wring the material out carefully to prevent too much water from sitting on the marble surface.
If you want to use a vacuum on marble tile, check the wheels to make sure that they’re not scuffed or rough in any spots. Don’t use metal attachments either.
You can use the cloth dampened with your cleansing solution to gently scrub at the stain, but don’t be too rough to avoid scratches.
You should only use hydrogen peroxide to clean your marble tile if it is a light color. Hydrogen peroxide may bleach dark marble tile.
You can find poultice powder at your local hardware, home improvement, or stone supply store. When applying the poultice to the stain, the layer should be approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick. Secure the plastic wrap over the poultice with painter’s tape to ensure that it’s airtight.
You can wipe up water with a paper towel or clean cloth, but if an acidic liquid spills on the tile, wipe it up and then clean the area with a cloth dampened with water and dish soap. Make sure to dry the surface thoroughly when you’re done. If you have marble in your bathroom, remember to dry the tile after every shower and bath.
If you want to protect a marble tile floor from scratches, try placing rubber mats under metal furniture and accessories. It’s also a good idea to place them under plants and flower pots.
Make sure to start with clean marble tile before applying the sealer. If you want extra protection, you can apply a second coat of sealer after the first one is completely dry.
