How To Care for Marble Surfaces in the Bathroom

Special care needs to be taken for marble surfaces in the bathroom.

  • Be extra careful that these surfaces are properly sealed. (See previous post).
  • Avoid hair spray near the vanity top as it may etch the surface. Ditto for perfumes and after shave as they contain alcohol.
  • Do not use hair dye near a marble surface because, well, it will dye it!
  • Never, ever leave water on any marble surface! This means a thorough wipe-down every time you use the shower or sink.
  • A high quality marble wax or car paste wax may be effective to remove water spots.
  • Use a rubber-backed rug instead of a bath mat so that the floor is kept dry.
  • To remove soap scum from the shower surround, use a non-acidic soap scum remover or a solution of ammonia and water (about 1/2 cup ammonia to a gallon of water).
