Caring for Marble Bathtubs and Vanity Tops

Caring for Marble Bathtubs and Vanity Tops

Seal it and then reseal it

Marble is porous. A penetrating sealer slows absorption and buys time to wipe a spill, but it wears, so resealing is part of owning the surface.

Keep acids away from the stone

Limescale removers, vinegar, citrus cleaners and many bathroom sprays etch marble. Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner instead.

Wipe standing water on tubs

A solid stone bathtub holds cosmetics, oils and hard water minerals in the same way a vanity top does. Rinsing and drying after use prevents most marks.

Repairing dull patches

Light etching can be polished out by a stone restorer. Deep marks need refinishing, which is why honed surfaces are often chosen for heavily used bathrooms.
