Learn About Marble Kitchen Countertops
Marble kitchen countertops from Counterfitters are a time-honored way to bring beauty and elegance into a home. The shiny and speckled surface is a kitchen countertop classic and has remained a popular favorite among homeowners despite the introduction of other hard surfaces for countertops.
Marble is a strong surface, but it is more porous than granite countertops and can require a bit more care than one might think. However, by following a few easy steps, you can have beautiful marble countertops in your kitchen that will last for years.
Proper Marble Kitchen
Countertop Procedures
It is extremely important to use trivets and hot pads when setting pots and pans on a marble surface; also, never cut directly on the marble surface. Always use a cutting board to avoid having scratches or knife marks on the countertop. Marble can scratch or pit easily, so precautions must be taken to keep them looking as beautiful as the day they were installed.
Also, be careful of what you use to clean the marble surfaces. Warm water and a soft dish soap are best, as harsh cleaning agents can stain the marble or cause it to become cloudy. It is important to wipe up spills as quickly as possible to keep the marble from staining.
Marble can also be used to make tabletops. If you are desiring something different than a typical wood table, try a marble tabletop for your kitchen or dining room.
