How to Clean a Marble Tabletop

Marble table tops not only look great, but they are also extremely durable. Although marble is durable, it can be damaged if it is not properly cared for. Acidic and abrasive cleansers and cleaning tools can alter or even destroy the surface of your marble table top. That being said, you don't need any special cleanser to clean marble. In fact, it is likely you already have all the things you need to clean marble tucked away in your cupboards.
