Questions
Should I use a color-enhancing sealer?
A color-enhancing sealer can significantly change the look of honed, tumbled or textured stone, and the change may be difficult to reverse. Test it on a spare tile first.
Do I need to seal tumbled marble?
Not always. Put a few drops of water on the stone for about 15 minutes. If it darkens, a sealer can help. Sealing makes the stone more stain resistant, not stain proof, and it does not stop etching. Check that the sealer is labeled for your stone and the location (interior, exterior, shower or floor).
Will acids damage tumbled marble?
Some can. Acids such as citrus, vinegar and wine leave dull marks called etches, and many all-purpose and bathroom cleaners contain acids. Wipe up acidic spills fast, and check the label for safe for marble or natural stone. Sealing does not prevent etching.
What can I clean marble with?
Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner, or a little mild dish soap in warm water. Avoid vinegar, lemon, acidic cleaners and scouring powders, which can dull or scratch the stone.
