The honest part: etching and stains
Marble is softer than granite and reacts with acids. Lemon juice, vinegar, tomato sauce and wine can leave dull spots called etching. Sealing helps marble resist stains, but it does not prevent etching.
Many homeowners love the lived-in patina marble develops over the years. Others prefer to use it where it sees less wear, like a bathroom vanity, or choose a marble-look quartz for a busy kitchen.
Polished or honed?
A polished finish is glossy and makes the veining pop, but etch marks show more. A honed finish is matte and hides etching better. Both are the same stone, so choose the look you'll be happiest living with.
Caring for marble
Wipe spills right away, especially anything acidic like citrus, wine or coffee. Use coasters under glasses and a pH-neutral cleaner made for natural stone.
Reseal marble periodically to help it resist stains. A light etch mark on a honed finish often blends in on its own; on a polished finish it may need professional attention.
Common questions
Is marble a good choice for kitchens?
It can be, if you're comfortable with etching and patina over time. For the marble look with less upkeep, consider marble-look quartz.
Does marble need to be sealed?
Yes. Sealing helps marble resist stains. Reseal periodically, and wipe up acidic spills quickly since sealer doesn't stop etching.
What's the best way to clean marble?
Warm water, a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid vinegar, lemon and other acidic or abrasive cleaners.
Is marble good for bathroom vanities?
Yes. Vanities see less acidic food and heavy use than kitchens, so marble is a natural fit. See bathroom vanity tops.
