For marble floors daily maintenance is to be made. This is carried out by mopping with mild detergent in water. Marble gets easily stained and scarred. If there is a spill on the floor, it should be cleaned immediately.
Stubborn stains should be removed based on the type. If the stain is from grease, a paste of chalk dust or whiting with acetone. This mixture is applied on the stain and allowed to stand overnight. The mixture is sponged off and the treated area is buffed. If the stain is from any organic source like tea, fruit juice, etc., chalk powder with hydrogen peroxide mixture is used. This paste can also remove stains due to rust. Such stains can also be removed by dry borax and damp cloth followed by warm water rinsing.
