The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining Marble Floors

Marble floors are a symbol of luxury and elegance, adding a timeless appeal to any property. However, marble is a relatively soft and porous stone, making it susceptible to scratches, stains, and dullness if not properly maintained. Preserving that mirror-like shine requires more than just a mop and bucket.

The secret to long-lasting marble beauty lies in a combination of correct daily habits and periodic professional treatments like crystallization. Understanding the nature of your stone is the first step towards flawless maintenance.

Daily Do's and Don'ts

Do: Dust mop frequently. Grit and sand carried in by shoes act like sandpaper, slowly scratching the surface.

Don't: Use acidic cleaners. Vinegar, lemon juice, or generic bathroom cleaners can etch the marble instantly, leaving dull white spots.

The Magic of Crystallization

Crystallization is a chemical and mechanical process that actually hardens the surface of the marble while restoring its shine. Unlike waxing, which creates a film on top, crystallization reacts with the stone itself.

At Y&J NETTOYAGE PRO, we use specialized machinery and compounds to perform this treatment. The result is a floor that is not only glossier but also more durable and resistant to scuffs. We recommend this treatment periodically depending on foot traffic.

Remember, prevention is key. Place mats at entrances, wipe up spills immediately, and schedule professional maintenance to keep your marble looking as grand as the day it was installed.
