What is the Best Way to Clean Marble Tiles?
Now that more people are using marble tiles in their kitchens, bathrooms and entryways, the demand for products to clean marble tiles is growing. With proper maintenance and upkeep, it’s not difficult to clean marble tiles at all.

To keep your marble sparkling, be sure to keep it free from routine dust and dirt. Clean marble tiles by sweeping the floor often with a soft bristled broom or vacuuming to pick up any loose dirt. If this can’t be done every day, settle for two or three times a week. Be aware that loose dirt can easily be ground in as people walk across the floor. If family and friends have been walking around in dirt or mud, you might ask them to remove their shoes before walking on your marble tiles. Sand, dirt and other debris left on the bottom of the shoe is abrasive. First, it will scratch the marble, and then it will grind the dirt into the scratches.
Many times, all that’s needed to clean marble tiles is a warm, damp mop or cloth, especially if there are spill prone kids – and adults – in the house. Fortunately, as the tiles  gain in popularity, so do products formulated to clean marble tiles. It’s best to have some on hand in case of accidental spillage or for regular weekly or monthly cleanings. Be sure to read the label and follow the instructions exactly.
While vinegar is touted as a great household cleaner, it’s not recommended to clean marble tiles. The acid in vinegar can damage the surface. Soaps, even mild detergents, aren’t recommended either. If you’re not using a special marble cleaner, use warm water only.

It’s not always best to let your tiles air dry. Get a nice fluffy towel, and use it to dry the floor thoroughly. It’s important to dry up after you clean marble tiles, as they tend to spot and stain if they remain wet.
Every few months, it’s a good idea to seal and polish the tiles. The polish will help your floor to shine, while the sealant will protect the floors from everyday dirt and grime and make it easier for you to clean marble tiles on a regular basis. Your local home improvement emporium is sure to have plenty of options for marble tile cleaners, sealants  and polishing agents. If you’re not sure which product is best, contact the manufacturer or the person who installed your tiles. Either one is sure to have some good recommendations.
