Here are essential tips for maintaining marble furniture (tables, consoles, or accent pieces) from ARV Furniture in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada:
✅ Daily Care
Dust Regularly
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the surface daily to prevent dust buildup and surface scratches.
Wipe Spills Immediately
Marble is porous—clean up spills (especially from acidic substances like wine, juice, vinegar, or coffee) right away to avoid staining.
🧴 Cleaning Tips
Use a Damp Cloth
For routine cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with warm water. Avoid soaking the surface.
Mild Soap Solution
Mix a few drops of pH-neutral dish soap with water for a gentle clean. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners
Never use bleach, vinegar, lemon-based cleaners, or abrasive scrubbing pads, as they can etch or dull the marble.
🛡️ Protection Tips
Use Coasters & Mats
Always place coasters under drinks and mats under hot or heavy dishes to prevent rings, heat marks, or chips.
Seal the Surface
Apply a marble sealant 1–2 times a year (or as recommended) to minimize staining and keep it looking polished.
Avoid Sharp Objects
Don’t cut or place sharp-edged items directly on the marble—use cutting boards or protective mats.
🚫 Long-Term Don’ts
Don’t Place in Direct Sunlight
Prolonged UV exposure can cause discoloration over time.
Avoid High Humidity Areas
Use a dehumidifier in humid spaces to prevent mold growth on unsealed areas or joints.
