Marble has been a popular material for beautifying living spaces for centuries. Whether for windowsills in the kitchen or living room, or for designing an entire bathroom – marble can be used effectively as both flooring and wall covering. However, to ensure that marble continues to shine for many years and does not become dull over time, a few maintenance tips are necessary.
Household remedies for cleaning and maintaining marble
For the maintenance of marble, you should have the following materials ready:
- a microfiber cloth
- a bucket of water
- Baby oil
The stone material marble should not only be dusted from time to time, but also occasionally maintained. Even though marble is not too demanding in terms of care, a little treatment keeps stone surfaces high-gloss.
Cleaning with all-purpose cleaner
The marble should be wiped down with a microfiber cloth and some water. Mild all-purpose cleaners are sufficient and also give the room a fresh scent. Corrosive cleaners, scouring agents, or citric acid should under no circumstances be used for maintenance. Reason: the marble surface will become dull and unsightly. If more stubborn stains need to be removed, do not reach for aggressive agents, but use a household sponge
instead of the cloth.
Care with baby oilBaby oilEvery now and then, you can also give the marble surfaces an extra shine treatment. For this,
is a true insider tip. Simply soak a cloth with baby oil and move it in circular motions over the surfaces to be treated.
Care with cooking oil
If you don't have baby oil on hand, you can also use cooking oil. Rub the marble with a little cooking oil after cleaning, and it will shine like new again.

shine, all you need is colorless shoe polish. Simply rub the windowsills with it and everything will sparkle.
Important:Of course, you can also get sufficient maintenance tips from a professional. This way, you definitely take no risks. They will certainly recommend impregnations for the marble. These protect the surfaces from water, limescale, and grease stains.
