Marble countertops can be easy to care for. Soap and water are great for daily cleaning. We often recommend once a week use a natural stone cleaner. This will help you maintain the sealer and shine. Marble is softer then granite.

Can I cut on marble countertops or put hot pots on the surface?

You can cut right on your marble countertops but we recommend you don’t, they can still scratch. Using a cutting board will ensure that your countertops don’t get any scratches.
