Marble kitchen countertops are the epitome of luxury and style, but they do come with the responsibility of maintenance to avoid stains. At Granite Empire, we guide our customers on what can mar the pristine beauty of their marble surfaces. Here are five common culprits: acidic substances like lemon juice and vinegar that can etch the surface, oily substances that can seep into and discolor the marble, tinted liquids such as coffee and wine that can leave lasting marks, metal items that may rust and stain when wet, and even water, especially hard water, that can leave mineral deposits over time.
Being aware of these threats allows for proactive care of marble kitchen countertops. Immediate wiping of spills, regular sealing, and the use of coasters and trays can preserve the stone’s integrity. Knowledge is the first step in protection, and at Granite Empire, we empower our customers with the necessary insights to keep their marble countertops as immaculate as the day they were installed.
