Even if your interior is traditionally themed, you can upgrade it to the next level with a marble counter.


But the allure of your marble can dimmish because of daily wear and tear, no matter if it’s from Italy or not. It’s common for all marble kitchen designs. But you can maintain the pristine beauty of your timeless marble kitchen interior by following the right maintenance processes. Even if the marble top gets dull, you can also restore it with the right steps.

Let’s explore more about that in the following blog post.


So, how can you restore your white marble countertops?


Marble countertops are one of the most beautiful décor items for kitchen interiors. But despite their lustre and beauty, they can face a range of issues due to daily wear and tear. From chips and stains to discolouration, there’re are tonnes of issues that can make your marble dull.


But well, you can fix them followingly,


1. Dealing with stains on marble counters.


Marble countertops are prone to develop ugly stains over time. Since marble is porous, any liquid spills like wine, fruit juice, or coffee can stain it. But you can restore that with the below steps,


• Mix baking soda and water in 1:1 proportion.


• Give the mixture a gentle stir until you get a thick paste-like structure (poultice).


• Apply the paste directly over the stains of your marble counter.


• Cover the paste application with clear plastic wrap and leave it like that for the night.


• Wipe the paste away the next morning and rinse the area with clean water.


But what if it doesn’t work? Well, if the marble stain is oily (i.e., butter, oil or pizza sauce), you can do the above steps but with a poultice made of Hydrogen Peroxide and an absorbing agent (powdered). All you’ll have to do is consult with your stonemasons before doing so.


2. Dealing with discoloured marble counters.


Discolouration is another common issue marble countertops face over time. No matter how rare or unique your marble is, it can get faded with daily use. But you can restore its lustre and shine with the following,


• Take a bucket of warm water and a gentle dish soap (without any acidic substance).


• Mix them and create a soapy solution.


• Take a soft, clean cloth and wipe your marble countertop using the soapy solution.


• Once clean, rinse your white marble countertop with clean water.


But what if it doesn’t work? Well, if the marble top needs a deeper shine, you’ll need a specialised marble polishing powder to restore the lustre.


3. Dealing with cracks and chips on marble counters.


Over time, you can notice smaller cracks and chips on the surface of your marble countertop. It’s common on marble kitchen décors, especially the countertops. For that, you can do the following,


• Get a marble repair kit from the supermarket.


• Ensure that the one you’re choosing is ideal for the type of marble you’ve got.


• Follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the kit.


So, can you do it with the larger cracks as well? Experts suggest seeking help from stone experts if your marble countertops have something bigger than scratches or minor cracks.


How can you prevent damage to your marble countertops?


Here’s how,


• One of the best ways to protect your marble countertop from damage is using a mindful cleaning routine. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your marble countertop daily. Avoid using harsh chemicals on your marble.

 

• Apply a high-quality marble sealant on your marble countertop every 6-12 months. It can protect your marble top from stains and moisture.

 

• Always use protective coasters under glasses and trivets under hotpots to prevent direct contact with the marble top. Also, use cutting boards when cutting vegetables.
