So to maintain a Marble floor there are some tips to know, in cleaning a marble floor.
- Regularly sweeping your marble floors is an excellent way to keep them looking clean. However, you have to be careful with the tools you’re using.
- We highly recommend investing in a dust mop or dry mop. These are easy to use and consist of a long handle with a microfiber cloth at the end. The microfiber attracts and collects dirt, dust and hair effectively while being gentle on the surface.
- You can also use a flared broom for daily sweeps. Flared brushes are softer compared to unflared brooms. The ends of the bristles resemble split-ends and pick up dust efficiently.

- Hot water (preferably distilled).
- pH-neutral soap.
- A soft mop (preferably microfiber).
