WHAT IS MARBLE?
Marble is a natural stone made of calcium carbonate and is known for its unique colors and patterns.
GENERAL CLEANING
Routine and timely cleaning is recommended, as natural stone stains easier than quartz or Dekton.
- Wipe spills immediately.
- Use a mild solution of dish soap and warm water.
- Always use a clean, soft cloth.
- Do not use harsh and abrasive scouring pads or cleaning agents. Using these items may permanently alter the finish.
DEEP CLEANING
GREASE STAINS
Create a spreadable paste of equal parts baking soda and water and cover the stain with the paste. Cover the paste with plastic wrap and tape it down on each corner to create a tight seal. Allow the paste to sit overnight or 24 hours, then use a bladed edge to gently remove the hardened paste. Rinse the area with warm water and use a soft rag to dry.
LIME SCALE AND HARD WATER STAINS
Apply a paste of equal parts baking soda and white vinegar. Let the mixture sit on the surface for 10-20 minutes, then remove with cold water using a non-scratch scouring pad. Repeat as necessary.
SCRATCHES AND CHIPPING
Marble is more susceptible to scratching than quartz or granite.
- Always use a cutting board and trivets on rough surfaced items.
- For scratch and chip repair, contact your local CKF showroom.
HEAT AND UV EXPOSURE
- Marble is not recommended for outdoor use, as it requires higher maintenance and is more susceptible to damage due to temperature changes and water stains.
- Always use a trivet under hot items and countertop appliances. Scorching and cracking may occur if marble is exposed to high heat.
