How To Care For Marble Flooring?
If you are looking for an inexpensive, low maintenance product for your new home, "don't buy marble"! Marble is a beautiful stone but requires special care and maintenance. Most people are unaware, the marble they see in the show room has been cut, polished and had all the gaps and holes eliminated by applying a marble filling agent. It has to be regularly cleaned, sealed twice a years and requires periodic maintenance by a professional tile refinishing company or the fillers fall out and the marble disintegrates. In short, it has to be "babied" if you want your marble floors to look great for years to come.
One of the worst mistakes I've seen is when the maid or cleaning person uses vinegar and water on a marble floor. The vinegar literally eats and disintegrates the marble!

If you want a product that looks like marble, costs less and requires very limited maintenance I suggest you consider a "porcelain tile". When most people hear the word porcelain they think of there grandma's white kitchen sink and what a disaster that was to deal with. Today's porcelain products are nothing like grandma's kitchen sink. In fact, I've installed porcelain flooring in million dollar homes and most people compliment the homeowners on their beautiful marble floors!
