Here’s how to remove water spots from marble:
1. Mild Soap Solution:
- For light stains: Mix a few drops of pH-neutral dish soap with warm water.
- Apply: Dampen a soft cloth with the solution and gently wipe the stained area.
- Rinse: Rinse the cloth thoroughly and wipe the area again to remove any soap residue.
- Dry: Dry the marble surface completely with a clean, dry cloth.
2. Baking Soda Poultice:
- For tougher stains: Create a paste by mixing baking soda with water to a thick consistency.
- Apply: Apply the paste over the water-stained area, forming a layer about ΒΌ inch thick.
- Cover: Cover the poultice with plastic wrap and leave it to sit for 24 to 48 hours.
- Remove: Remove the poultice and rinse the area with water.
- Dry: Dry the marble surface completely.
3. Hydrogen Peroxide Solution (for deeper stains):
- Mix: Mix a few drops of hydrogen peroxide with a tablespoon of ammonia (for deep stains) or baking soda (for light stains) to form a paste.
- Apply: Apply the paste to the stain and cover with plastic wrap for 24 hours.
- Rinse: Rinse and wipe the area clean.
Important Notes:
- Avoid acidic cleaners: Acids like vinegar, lemon juice, and some commercial cleaners can etch marble.
- Test in an inconspicuous area: Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the marble first to ensure it doesn’t damage the surface.
- Regular sealing: Sealing your marble regularly helps prevent future staining.
