Marble countertops are naturally weak in resistance to scratches, etchings, and stains because of their softness. Therefore, if not maintained properly with routine sealing and daily cleans, marble countertops have an extremely high chance of receiving damage from knife scratches, hot pot and pan burns, and oil and acid stains.

The first important thing to do is to ensure that tabletops are sealed with appropriate products such as Hidro Protector MM, Pro TW Lux produced by Faber (Italy). In addition, periodic re-sealing should be implemented according to the instructions of suppliers.

In addition, the daily care is also very necessary. Blot, do not wipe, any spills immediately, then clean with a neutral PH or stone care product like Neugel, Algafloor. In case of stains caused by tea coffee, wine, juice, .... No Mac Gel should be used to handle.

Always use coasters, pads or mats to place hot pots, dishware or containers. Use coasters under drinking glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices to avoid etching. Avoid cleaning products unless the label specifies it is safe for natural stone. If stains caused by acidic substances that make the surface fading and shine loosing, users should contact professional services suppliers for proper treatment.
