How to Clean Marble Floors
Step 1: Remove Loose Dirt
Sweep or vacuum the floor to remove any loose dirt, dust, or debris.
Step 2: Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap or a commercial stone tile cleaner. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners as they can etch the marble.
Step 3: Mop the Floor
Dip the mop or microfiber cloth into the cleaning solution, wring it out well so it’s damp but not soaking, and mop the floor gently. Avoid using too much water as it can penetrate the marble and cause damage.
Step 4: Rinse the Floor
Rinse the mop or cloth with clean water, wring thoroughly, and mop the floor again to remove any soap residue.
Step 5: Dry the Floor
Immediately dry the floor with soft towels to prevent water spots and streaks.
