How to Remove Stains From Antique Marble With Hydrogen Peroxide

Marble is an attractive, durable material that gives off an air of elegance to any home. Unfortunately, marble is difficult to install and easily scratched, etched and stained. Even setting a water glass onto a marble countertop or floor creates a stain. Hydrogen peroxide, a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen, is valued for its antiseptic and disinfecting qualities and effectively removes stains from antique marble while killing any bacteria or viruses on its surface.

1/2 cup, 12 percent hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda

2 tbsp. liquid dish soap
Kitchen sponge
Microfiber cloths
