Maintenance
Marble requires special care. Spills should be soaked up or blotted as gently as possible to avoid spreading over more surface. Harsh cleaners and soaps should be avoided. Moreover, acidic foods should not make direct contact with the countertop to further prevent staining. It is recommended you seal marble surfaces at least once every six months.
