Few tips for marble fireplace cleaningÂ
Let us discuss here how to clean marble fireplace.
- By using a soft cloth, you can remove any dust and dirt on the surface of the fireplace.
- For removing any marble stains, use a clean soft cloth dipped in water (preferably distilled water).
- Ensure that the water used must be lukewarm. Prefer to use a microfiber cloth and wring it well and avoid excess water. Also, avoid air-drying the marble so that water spots should not be created.
- With dampened cloth wipe the fireplace lightly by paying special attention to the stained areas.
- While cleaning any working fireplace, it may get messy, so place down sheeting so that escaping ash may fall on it.
- For very dirty stone, often rinse the cloth so that it leaves no dirty film behind.
- Always remember the longer will you leave it, also the deeper the stain may penetrate the stone.
- If water is not good enough to remove entire stains, then you must use any specialist cleaning product meant specially for marble. You have to select the cleaner by doing a few trials and need to be a little careful and cautious.
- If you are trying any new cleaner then you must read the directions very carefully before using it. Start by testing the cleaning product on a few smaller areas and make sure that it does not damage your marble.
- After removing all the stain, you can wax it to bring back the shine on the marble. Ensure that you use a good quality of wax.
After the marble is dry and clean, buff it by using a cloth until it shines.
