This guide is intended for decorative marble trays, tissue boxes, soap dishes, coasters, and similar home accents. Always handle stone items with dry, secure hands.
Daily cleaning
- Use a soft dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth
- Wipe spills quickly, especially liquids with color or oil
- Dry the surface after cleaning to avoid water spotting
What to avoid
- Harsh acids such as vinegar, lemon, or bathroom descalers
- Abrasive scrubbers or rough cleaning pads
- Strong bleach or chemical cleaners not made for stone
- Dragging heavy metal or sharp objects across the surface
Best use tips
- Use coasters or liners when placing bottles, perfumes, or wet items
- Do not leave standing water on soap dishes or vanity pieces for long periods
- Place marble decor on stable surfaces to reduce impact risk
- Lift pieces carefully instead of sliding them across counters or shelves
Long-term care
If your item sees regular moisture or bathroom use, gentle periodic maintenance is a good idea. For premium pieces, you may consider a stone-safe protective treatment recommended for marble surfaces.
When in doubt, test any product on a small hidden area first or contact us before using a cleaner or polish.
