Chances are, you chose marble flooring for its shiny luster and appealing finish. When light moves throughout your house, the marble reflects and creates a luxurious feel - it’s the perfect flooring for your home. That is, until it loses its glossy appearance. Over time, regular wear and tear is going to scratch marble floor - just like any other flooring. The scratches take away from the finish, creating this lackluster appearance and even making it more difficult to clean. But while cleaning may not restore that glossy look you want, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible!

How to Restore Your Marble Floor

First and foremost, it’s always recommended to consult with a professional about your marble floors. There are many products that you should avoid - especially harsh chemicals and acids as they’re extremely tough on marble. It’s important that you use gentle cleaning methods, because marble can easily become damaged. All of this to say; hiring a professional cleaning company will take a lot off your shoulders!

If you’re not sure how to properly clean marble - a professional will have the right tools, experience, and knowledge to get the job done effectively and efficiently.

How Should You Regularly Clean Marble Flooring?

Now, for the times in between those professional cleanings, you may be wondering; how am I supposed to clean marble on a regular basis?

Just like with carpet, dirt and debris (like sand and other hard, gritty material) are the most damaging. As long as you can minimize these materials on your marble flooring, regularly cleaning is relatively simple. Frequent mopping and dusting should get the job done well - but don’t forget to quickly clean up any spills!
