No-Sweat Techniques for Maintaining Marble Floor

Cleaning marble floor isn’t always an enjoyable task especially for working women who have to manage multiple things at a time. Hiring a cleaning company sounds like a good idea, but cleaning companies in Riyadh, Dubai, London, and other big cities will dry your bank coffers soon if you want them to deep clean the home daily. You can perform this task on your own and preserve the sensitive surface with little effort. How? Let’s find out together.

Mop the Floor

Nothing can beat the value of a mop when it comes to cleaning the marble floor. It effortlessly removes dust and mild stains from the floor and gives you a shiny and clean floor. All you need to do is to buy a premium quality microfiber mop so it can smoothly eliminate dust particles from the porous surface. I personally like spin mops as they are way more practical and you can easily wring water out of them.

Don’t be Lazy in Cleaning Spills

Yes, being lazy can cost you money. Clean out the spill immediately as the porous surface of marble absorbs the liquids or sticky particles which results in permanent stains. First, use a dry cloth to absorb the liquid and then rub gently with a damp cloth for deep cleaning.

Avoid Strong Detergents

To keep your cleaning game on, never go for strong detergents. They might give you a super clean floor in initial cleanings but eventually damage the shiny surface. Detergents having high pH are a big no. Likewise, avoid using high pH items if you are trying DIY hacks to remove stains. Vinegar, lemon, ceramic floor cleaners, and ammonia aren’t recommended for marble floors due to the pH level between two or three.

Use Soft Broom for Cleaning

Dust makes the marble look dull and dirty. If you don’t have time for the deep cleaning of the floor, sweep it regularly. However, be careful in the selection of broom and always prefer a soft one to prevent scratches on the marble. The best thing about marble flooring is low maintenance. No need to mop the floor regularly even once a week is enough.

Place Carpet on High Traffic Areas

It often happens that high traffic areas decolorize and look dull than the rest of the areas. It looks unpleasant. The best solution to avoid this situation is to place rugs or carpet in the high traffic areas and vacuum clean the carpets once a week. Carpet cleaning tips can be also be followed to keep the carpet clean at home.
