How to clean red marble?
Daily cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with lukewarm water to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh detergents that could damage the material.
Mild cleaners: For light stains, use a neutral detergent diluted in lukewarm water. Dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning to prevent streaks.
Stubborn stains: For more persistent stains such as coffee, wine, or grease, you can use a paste made from baking soda and water. Gently apply it to the stain, leave it for a few minutes, then clean with lukewarm water and dry carefully.
Avoid corrosive substances: Do not use acidic products such as lemon or vinegar, as they can damage marble. Abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products should also be avoided.
Everyday protection: Use coasters or placemats under glasses and hot cookware to protect the surface from heat and scratches.
By following these simple precautions and using the right cleaning products, you can keep your Red Levanto Marble beautiful and luminous for many years to come.
