Use Coasters and Placemats:
Always place coasters under glasses and placemats under hot dishes to prevent stains, etching, and heat damage.
Wipe Spills Immediately:
Marble is porous and can absorb liquids quickly. Clean up spills—especially from acidic foods like vinegar, wine, or citrus—right away with a soft cloth.
Clean with a Mild Soap:
Use a damp, soft cloth with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or vinegar-based solutions that can damage the surface.
Avoid Sharp or Heavy Items:
Do not drag sharp or heavy items across the table. Use felt pads under decorative pieces to avoid scratches.
Seal the Marble Regularly:
Apply a marble sealer every 6–12 months (or as recommended) to protect the surface from stains and moisture.
Dust Often:
Regularly dust the marble top with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain its shine and prevent surface buildup.
Use a Tablecloth for Extra Protection:
When serving large meals or during gatherings, cover the table with a soft cloth to protect against accidental damage.
Avoid Sitting or Standing on the Table:
Marble can crack under excessive weight—never use the table as a step or bench.
Polish Occasionally:
Use a marble polish or conditioner specifically designed for natural stone to enhance the table’s sheen.
Keep Out of Direct Sunlight:
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration over time. Use curtains or blinds if the table is near a window.
