How to maintain a marble washbasin in daily life?

Marble washbasins  possess an elegant sheen. Because marble is porous, maintaining its shine is challenging. Sealing helps prevent the stone from absorbing liquids, but acidic liquids (such as orange juice, lemon juice, soda, various food additives, and common household cleaners) can corrode the stone; therefore, never use acidic cleaners on marble. To avoid water stains, rinse and dry the sink after each use. The only way to remove corrosion and water stains is to have a professional re-grind and re-polish. For daily care, use a mild liquid cleaner containing bleach or a regular household cleaner.

1. Regular care is required; regular cleaning is necessary.

While stone protectants aren't a cure-all, it's impossible to go without them. No matter how good a protectant is, its effectiveness will diminish if exposed to hot water, alkaline water (soap), and various bath products over a long period. Under normal circumstances, a stone protectant's effect can last about a year, and within two years, varying degrees of contamination and damage will occur. Therefore, maintenance isn't a lifetime commitment and should be done regularly. Small bathroom sinks don't require professional stone care company construction. It's recommended to use a "stone strengthening protectant," which is inexpensive to apply yourself. It can be wiped with a small cloth. This simultaneously cleans, protects, and polishes, making it very convenient to use.

2. Prevent prolonged water accumulation.

After use, drain the water from the basin and wipe the surface of the table dry. This practice helps keep the stone surface clean and reduces contamination.

3. Choose the right cleaning agent

Stone washbasins are susceptible to damage from strong acids and alkalis. It is well known that when cleaning stone washbasins , the ingredients of the cleaning agent must be carefully considered to expedite the process. Common cleaning agents contain both acids and alkalis. Prolonged use of cleaning agents with unknown ingredients will completely destroy the surface shine of the stone washbasin and may even cause damage. For example, if marble is alkaline, use an alkaline cleaner; if granite is acidic, use an acidic cleaner.

4. Prevent scratches

Scratching with hard objects or steel balls will reduce the protective effect on the stone and should be avoided as much as possible.

5. Special Circumstances

If your marble washbasin shows signs of deep staining, severe light loss, surface aging, microcracks and fissures, or damage, you can request a professional stone care company to handle it.
