Proper maintenance is essential for preserving the beauty and longevity of your marble surfaces. Follow this guide to keep your installations looking their best.
Why Maintenance Matters
Regular care of marble helps:
- Maintain original shine and appearance
- Prevent staining and surface damage
- Extend the lifespan of your investment
- Protect against wear from daily use
Essential Care Tips
Daily Care Routine
Clean surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch marble surfaces.
Spill Management
Address spills immediately, especially on marble countertops. Blot—don’t wipe—to prevent spreading.

Use coasters under glasses and trivets under hot items. While marble from Portugal is durable, precautions help maintain appearance.
Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Applying abrasive scrubbers or pads
- Ignoring cracks or chips that can spread
- Skipping periodic professional maintenance
Professional Care
Schedule professional cleaning and restoration every few years to address deep cleaning needs and maintain the luster of your marble installations.
