Marble Miami for a bathroom

The color palette of marble is very rich. So a marble worktop for your bathroom has different considerations to your kitchen, not only in style but for the use they need to endure, so it goes without saying to keep your kitchen considerations in isolation to your bathroom design.

Our Miami Marble countertops are always a popular choice for our customers. It’s worth keeping in mind they can require a bit more care. This is due to their hardness - marble is softer than say Granite, so it just needs a little more looking after!

With the proper care and treatment though, and the use of appropriate cleaning agents, it’s possible to easily and properly protect marble worktops against any external factors.

How to take care of a Marble Miami countertop

• Tabletop pads - if you have a marble table, it’s a good idea to use table mats to cover the surface when serving drinks and meals - especially under very hot dishes, such as pots, pans, etc.
• Microfibre cloth - for daily maintenance, just buy a regular cloth that will not scratch the surface and will perfectly collect excess water from the surface of the stone.
• Dedicated products - we can advise on dedicated materials to buy. Their use should be absolutely sufficient for both daily maintenance and removal of fresh dirt. Some cleaning agents are already specially formulated with the right ingredients for the right countertop. e.g. the Carrara variety.
• Water and detergent - greasy oil-based stains such as kitchen oil, milk, cosmetics, etc. tend to penetrate the pores of white marble that hasn’t been treated at all. Such soiling causes blackout on the surface of the stone and can create an unsightly appearance, so make sure you ask your specialist if the marble has been treated before you buy.

Removing stains from Marble Miami countertops

To clean the worktop to remove unwanted stains and discolorations, it’s best to start with the least aggressive cleaning agents, and gradually increase the strength if the previous methods fail.

Top Tip: Distilled water and white spirit are gentle and effective in the case of fresh, small dirt patches. Apply the liquid to the swab and wipe the surface quickly. Spirit has a tendency to dull the varnish, so its use should be treated as disposable and occasional.

Also, ordinary baking soda combined with warm water at a ratio of 3 tablespoons per 250ml of water can be used as a safe cleaning agent.

What should not be used?

In the case of daily care of marble surfaces, bleaching agents containing chlorine, i.e. all types of cleaning fluid available in household stores should be avoided. Detergents containing silicone oils are not recommended either. Avoid acidic and alkaline pH agents at all times.

Styling ideas for your Miami Marble kitchen
