Welcome one more day to the Marbres Barcelona blog, Your trusted company of Barcelona Specialized in all types of coating materials. In today's new entry we will talk about how we should clean and maintain the different surfaces of marble that we can have in our home of Barcelona.
To know what its maintenance should be important to know its composition, he 90% of the marble It is calcium carbonate, while the 10% remaining is formed of different materials that give it some physical and aesthetic characteristics, such as quartz, Micas, magnetic carbonate.
Clean marble and eliminate spots
Although he marble It is a very resistant material and that can last for years in our home of Barcelona, The truth is that we need to do a good cleaning and maintenance as long as it is not damaged and we can extend your useful life as much as possible.
To clean the marble of our home Barcelona, The first thing we must do is eliminate dust, either with a rag if it is an countertop or with a mop if it is the ground. As this material is somewhat more porous than the rest, It is important to use specific products for cleaning and preventing spots from staying a lot of time on their surface.
At the time of scrubbing the surface of marble, What we must do is make a mixture of water with a specific product and distribute it throughout the surface making enveloping movements. Yes marble of our home Barcelona It's white or beige, We can get a better finish if we add a little hydrogen peroxide to the mixture.
On the other hand, If we find some somewhat difficult stains to eliminate, It is important that we do not use abrasive products, since he marble could be damaged and losing shine. The first thing we should do when we stain some surface of marble is to eliminate the stain with absorbent paper or a rag, In this way we will prevent the stain from penetrating and damaging the surface. If on the contrary it is already stained, We must resort to a somewhat more aggressive specific product but that the manufacturer recommends its use for surfaces of marble.
Polish the marble floor
As for polishing the floor of our home of Barcelona, It is important to know that if we polish it every year and follow the cleaning guidelines that we have previously named, Most likely, you don't need to be polished until after several years, since it is a material that if a good maintenance is performed, It can last many years in perfect condition.
For a home of Barcelona like ours, polish the marble Once every 6 o 10 years is more than enough, But the truth is that in more busy premises, It must be every less time.
