How to Care for a Marble Top Table

Marble is the epitome of elegance in the home. New trends of wooden tables with marble tops have emerged recently in interior decorating. To make sure the marble will last a very long time, proper care and maintenance needs to be exercised. Marble looks beautiful and is very sturdy, but if not cared for, the marble can stain from common household items like salad dressings, vinegar, juices, and alcohol, among others.
