Getting deeper into the geology of marble, it is found that marble is quite weak and prone to stains. It is found that staining agents leak into the marble and damage it. But, there is a solution to it. Professionally sealing the surface during installation can prevent this damage to a large extent. But, you need to reseal it every year, for proper maintenance.

Acid etching wears off the sealant and makes the surface dull and more prone to stains. It is better to use white marble to avoid the dirty appearance of stains. This is because acid etching often leaves a whitish mark, which becomes quite prominent in other colours.

And better would be to clean the stain immediately after it falls. For water-based stains use hydrogen peroxide and oil-based stains use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar in warm water to clean it.

Marble is the best choice for kitchen countertops because it is heat resistant. You can keep hot utensils on it without any worry. But, however heat resistant it is, do not place a piping hot pot on marble. This is because it may cause discoloration or burning of the surface.

If properly maintained and cleaned, marble adds exquisiteness to your kitchen. It is trending currently, because of its polished gleaming looks. Rather, a tint of gold or brass on white marble or a monochromatic and modern hue paired with chrome looks attractive.

Last but not the least; marble is quite cheap and affordable. Rather, marble is the cheapest natural stone readily available in the market. Also, its maintenance and repair cost is quite less.
