To clean and maintain your marble side table to maintain its shine and extend its life, follow these steps and suggestions:

Cleaning Steps

Prepared materials: soft cloth or sponge, warm water, neutral detergent (such as pH neutral dishwashing liquid or special marble cleaner)

Daily cleaning:

Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in warm water to gently wipe the surface of the marble side table to remove dust and impurities.

Avoid using detergents containing acid or alkaline to avoid damage to the marble surface.

Dealing with stubborn stains:

If there are stubborn stains on the marble side table, you can add a small amount of neutral detergent to warm water to make a cleaning solution.

Dip a damp cloth or sponge in the cleaning solution and gently wipe the stained area, making sure to apply evenly and in the right amount.

After wiping, wash the surface of the countertop with clean water to thoroughly remove the residue of the detergent, and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Maintenance suggestions

Avoid scratches from hard objects:

Although marble has a high hardness, it is still easy to scratch when it comes into contact with hard objects such as metal. Therefore, avoid placing sharp metal objects on the marble side table, such as knives, forks, etc.

At the same time, avoid using hard cleaning tools to clean it to avoid scratching the tabletop.

Waxing regularly:

Waxing can seal the surface of the stone, prevent stains from penetrating, and increase the gloss of the stone.

It is recommended to wax the marble side table regularly, generally once a quarter. Before waxing, clean the tabletop first, then apply a thin layer of wax evenly, and wipe it with a soft cloth until it is shiny after the wax dries.

Pay attention to choosing special stone wax and avoid using wax containing pigments to avoid affecting the color of the stone.

Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature contact:

Long-term direct sunlight will cause the marble surface to lose moisture, crack or deform. Therefore, avoid exposing the marble side table to the sun for a long time. If it cannot be avoided, use curtains or blinds to block the sun.

At the same time, avoid placing hot objects directly on the marble surface, because high temperature may cause cracks inside the marble. If a heat source must be placed, an insulating pad should be used to protect the marble.

Keep the indoor humidity moderate:

Indoor humidity that is too high or too low will affect marble. If the indoor humidity is too high, it will cause the stone to expand and deform; if the indoor humidity is too low, it will cause cracks in the stone.

Therefore, to keep the indoor humidity moderate, it is generally recommended to be between 40% and 60%. A humidifier or dehumidifier can be used to adjust the indoor humidity.

Regular inspection and repair:

Regularly check the joints and fixtures of the marble to ensure that there is no looseness or damage. Once a problem is found, it should be repaired immediately.

If there are scratches or wear on the surface of the marble side table, it can be repaired with a professional marble polish. Test it in an inconspicuous place before use to confirm whether it will cause damage to the marble surface.

By following the above cleaning and maintenance steps, the gloss of the marble side table can be effectively maintained and its service life can be extended. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid unfavorable factors such as scratches from hard objects, direct sunlight and high temperature contact to keep the marble side table in good condition.
