Do you remember the day when your marble floor was first laid? If you do, it is likely that you spent quite a bit of time worrying about how to keep it looking great. The thing about life is that life takes over. As the days and weeks pass, you become used to the floor and maybe don’t treat it so much like delicate glass.
Marble floors are incredibly hard wearing and will last a lifetime. However, there are certain elements that help to reduce the likelihood of damage and keep the marble tiles looking at their best. By building a routine based around these factors, you will feel empowered that you are investing in your home.
Tips to Help Extend the Life of Your Marble Floor
Regularly sweep and hover your marble floor. Ideally, this should be completed daily. However, this may not be reasonable or possible in some properties. Therefore, you should build a routine based around completing this process as regularly as possible. The need for this may slightly vary based on where the marble tiles are and whether you have children or pets.
Use mats and rugs. It is always a great idea to place a door mat on the outside of the door and a rug on the inside. This provides a two-step barrier to dirt and grime from outside. By increasing the likelihood that the dirt is removed prior to entering your home, you are reducing the likelihood of damage.
It is a great idea to promote people removing their shoes when entering your home. For commercial properties, this is slightly different. However, no one would mind removing their shoes to protect your marble flooring. Some even go as far as placing guest slippers at the doorway if they are expecting visitors. Creating good habits goes a long way.
If you are looking to remove furniture, it is really important to be careful. Larger and even smaller items can easily scratch the surface of your tiles if they are dragged. Taking your time and placing felt pads under all possible furniture will help reduce the possibility of scratches.
Lastly, it is important to find a local marble cleaning and marble polishing expert. They will be on hand to offer a brilliant service to make sure your marble floors continue to look their best.
