Marble and limestone are both relatively soft calcium-based stones. This makes both marble and limestone susceptible to scratching, and at risk of etching by acidic or alkaline spills or chemicals.
Top tips for cleaning marble and cleaning limestone
With marble and limestone, it is particularly important that you do not use any cleaning products unless they clearly state that they are safe for use on marble. If it doesn’t say “can be used on marble”, don’t use it. Also avoid abrasive chemicals and cloths, which will scratch.
Protecting marble and limestone
Slique recommends that all marble and limestone surfaces are protected: sealing marble or limestone with a Stain-Guarding treatment will limit stains; while polishing with a Barrier-Coat Polish can isolate marble or limestone from damage.
