Here are simple, professional, and customer-friendly cleaning tips for a Dining Table – Kitchen Marble Top with Stainless Steel Base, tailored for ARV Furniture, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada:
**SMART CLEANING TIPS
1. Daily Cleaning for Marble Top
Use a soft microfiber cloth with mild dish soap + warm water.
Wipe gently, then dry immediately to avoid water spots.
NEVER use vinegar, lemon, bleach, or any acidic cleaner — they can etch and dull the marble.
2. Remove Stains Safely (Oil, Tea, Food Droplets)
For oil or greasy stains: use a few drops of gentle dish soap and warm water.
For tough spots: mix baking soda + water into a thick paste and apply for 12 hours, then wipe clean.
Do NOT scrub with abrasive pads; they can scratch the marble surface.
3. Protect the Marble Surface
Always use coasters under glasses, especially for wine, juice, or sparkling drinks.
Place heat mats under hot dishes and pots.
Use placemats or runners to avoid scratches from plates or cutlery.
4. Marble Sealer (Optional but Recommended)
If your marble is natural (not engineered), apply a marble sealer every 6–12 months.
It helps prevent stains and keeps your tabletop looking new for years.
CLEANING TIPS FOR STAINLESS STEEL BASE
5. Daily Cleaning
Wipe with a microfiber cloth + mild soap water.
Always dry afterward to avoid water spots.
6. Remove Fingerprints & Marks
Use a stainless steel cleaner OR a small amount of baby oil on a microfiber cloth.
Wipe in the direction of the grain for an even shine.
7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Do NOT use:
Bleach
Abrasive powder

Harsh all-purpose cleaners
These can scratch or discolor the stainless steel.

Keep the base dry.
For stubborn marks, apply a little white toothpaste (non-gel) and wipe clean.
GENERAL CARE TIPS
Lift items instead of dragging them to avoid scratches on the marble.
Clean spills immediately, especially wine, coffee, turmeric, or citrus juices.
Keep the table away from extreme heat or direct sunlight to maintain shine.
