In our post today on the blog of the leading company in marbles, Marbles Barcelona, We will explain how to clean marble, and how not to do it, through a series of tips that take into account different factors such as the type of marble, the use given to it, how dirty it is and the type of dirt it has, etc.
First of all, We must ensure that the material we are going to clean is marble. In Barcelona and other big cities, In many cases, materials that imitate (with great success, besides) the marble. If any of the following tips apply to this type of materials, we can spoil them because they will not have the same characteristics (resistance or hardness, For example) and we can damage them irreversibly. In the same way that the following tips cannot be applied to marble imitations., We will start by listing the products that cannot be used in marbles. In Barcelona, For example, We have many products in every home for the periodic cleaning of our house., but you have to be careful to avoid sprays, anti-lime products, bathroom cleaning products, etc. because they can deteriorate the marble, its shine and several of the qualities it has. On the other hand, There are also a series of natural elements that can damage marble and that are very typical to use in Barcelona and Mediterranean cuisine in general.: strong acids and alkalis such as wine, the vinegar, lemon juice, etc.
Discarded this type of products, which can be harmful, We will have to decide if we clean dry or clean with liquids. If we decide to do it with liquids, These are the three that we should take into account the most:
- Soap and water: classic combination that is perfect for cleaning maintenance of our marbles, or to remove surface stains and easy to clean.
- Distilled water: also indicated for superficial stains, leaves no trace of drops or other marks.
- Solvents: aggressive product and, up to a point, corrosive. It is recommended to use precautions (like gloves) for your use. It will be very good for us to be able to eliminate stains that, with soap and water, they didn't leave. In this case especially 8auqnue also in the other two), The marble surface will have to be rinsed with water once cleaned..
Instead, If we prefer to clean our marbles of Barcelona dry, The following techniques must be taken into account:
- waxed: recommended to cover the pores of marble, avoid that if infiltren stains.
- Pulido: classic system consisting of “filing” or “scorching” the surface of the marble so that it looks like new. Can be used a limited number of times.
We hope these tips are useful to you.. But, whenever you have any questions with the marbles or you want to receive a quote, do not hesitate to contact Marbres Barcelona, the leading company in the sector.
