Cleaning marble and granite floors




            Marble and granite floors are known for their high maintenance and upkeep values. Although they are extremely strong and sturdy, the easily tend to lose their lustre and sheen within a few years. Hence proper floor care is essential when dealing with marble and granite flooring.
            This does not mean that you have to splurge on professional grade, expensive cleaning products and specialized cleaning equipment, although that is recommended once in a while, just to bring back the original look of the marble floors.
            Marbles and granites are quite porous, hence it is recommended that you clean up any spillage immediately in order to avoid staining. This alone will help keep your floor from losing its sheen.
            The simplest way to care for your marble flooring is to use clean water, mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean the floor with hand. Vacuuming the floor is recommended, as it removes any sharp object such as sand granules and dust particles. Once the floor is dry cleaned, use the soft cloth/ mop to clean the floor with warm soapy water. Ensure that the detergent is free of dyes, as it can stain the floor easily. Squeeze the soap water and mop the floor once more with fresh water.
