Care must be taken when clearing ice and snow. You can easily break a corner by cutting. Impregnation with a preservative helps to prevent absorption of liquids. Wash off the substrate and make a sample in an out of sight location before treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marble<\/strong> is a softer stone. Marble can be easily scratched with a normal arrow. In addition, marble is very sensitive to acids, for example vinegar or acidic fruit (lemon) can easily damage the surface of marble. As marble and limestone are relatively porous compared to granite, liquids are absorbed more quickly. Liquids absorbed into the pores of the stone can leave a stain that is almost impossible to remove completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleaning<\/strong> Use a soft cloth to remove dirt during daily cleaning. The surface can be washed with a neutral detergent and water solution or simply with soap. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water without detergents. Do not use products containing acids, bathroom and enamel products, abrasive, liquid or paint strippers. Test the effects of heavy-duty cleaners in a sheltered\/reduced area before use.<br \/>\nTo avoid stains, liquids that have spilled on the stone should be cleaned up as quickly as possible to prevent the liquid from being absorbed into the pores of the stone. Particular care should be taken with vinegar, lemon, red wine, coffee, tea, grease and oil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-334f9af36cea173305c45a30c585176c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-334f9af36cea173305c45a30c585176c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-334f9af36cea173305c45a30c585176c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mfkre2p5-eef4643eb7e9473a37d6e57a0c4cdfda'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to reduce the infiltration of liquids into the pores of the natural stone, the tiles should be coated with a stone sealer.
