Answer
Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. Here’s my go-to guide for keeping marble vanity tops gorgeous and long-lasting:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water for daily wiping; dry with a clean cloth to avoid water spots
- Never use acidic or abrasive cleaners (no vinegar, bleach, or scrub powders)
- Blot spills immediately, especially toothpaste, lotions, makeup, or hair products
- Seal your marble regularly (typically once a year) with a pro-recommended sealer
- Use trays and soft pads under bottles and accessories; never drag items across the surface
- Keep hot tools off the marble or use heat-resistant mats
- For stains, try a baking-soda poultice; for deep etching or bad scratches, call a marble restoration professional
Is there a specific issue you’re dealing with on your marble right now, like stains or etching?
