There aren't too many kitchen cleaning products on the market for cleaning MARBLE. Especially since the newest techonology uses peroxide and detergents to penetrate soiled areas. Simply spray a product such as BIO-OX CITRUS CONCENTRATE on the marble countertop, allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, and wipe clean. Baking soda can be sprinkled for more abrasive kitchen cleaning action. Repeat if necessary. Marble can also be cleaned using warm, sudsy water (a mild detergent such as grease cutting dish detergent or laundry detergent is fine) or a solution of borax and water. Thoroughly rinse and buff dry. Also to remove stains from marble, make a paste of baking soda and Hydrogen Peroxide or Baking Soda and BIO-OX CITRUS CONCENTRATE and cover the stain with the paste. Cover the paste with a damp cloth, leave overnight, then wet down and scrub with a non metallic scrubbing pad. Rinse thoroughly. wipe down any spills as they happen so they don't soak in. If this occurs, you'll need to have your countertop professionally rebuffed. Always use a cutting board with a towel underneath it, when working with acid foods such as lemons, vinegar or alcohol (which can damage the natural shine of marble in a matterof seconds)and foods such as beets or red wine (which can discolor the surface. If the water beads, your countertop is maintaining it's seal; but if it soaks into the countertop, consider reapplying the sealant. Always dry the countertop thoroughly after washing the dishes to prevent water damage the marble.
