Outdoor Marble

Marble is a 100% natural material that fits everywhere, from swimming pools to outdoor kitchens, rooftops, terraces, and much more. This kind of material can be used in every type of furniture, in every corner. There are no limits to imagination and creation. Being such a precious material, it also requires cleaning and maintenance to preserve it and maintain it always brand new.

How To Clean It:

-Blot with a paper towel everything that slips on the marble immediately. Don’t wipe because it can spread spills. If it’s a hard stain you can flush the area with a mix of water and dishwashing soap. Be careful doing this for not to scratch your marble;

-For regular cleaning, use a soft cloth.

Keep It Safe:

-Don’t use, under any circumstance, abrasive scrubbers or products that contain acids like lemon, vinegar, or others, as they can permanently damage the outdoor marble;

-Avoid using regular cleaning products that contain acetone, ammonia, chlorine or solvents, abrasive
products, and furniture polish, as these can easily cause discoloration on the surface;
