How to Shine Marble Tops

Marble table tops can be a beautiful accent to any room in a home. Keeping those table tops shiny can be challenging, as marble is susceptible to pitting, as well as wear and tear over time. Regularly cleaning the table tops can keep them looking brand new for years and avoid damaging the natural stone.
