Stone and Marble Staircase Maintenance

If your home already has a marble staircase then you are able to enjoy a slice of luxury every day. However, there are some maintenance tasks which are required to keep your staircase looking its best. Careful treatment of any stone is always advised and with a few simple tips, you can enjoy your marble staircase for years to come.

Cleaning Your Marble Staircase

We would recommend cleaning your marble staircase once a week to ensure it stays sparkling, however potentially more if you have lots of people and pets in your home. Begin by adding a mild detergent to hot water in a bucket and mix. Avoid any harsh chemicals and bleach as these can damage your marble. Use a clean mop in circular motions to clean the floor, paying careful attention to hard to reach areas on the stairs. Once washed, go over the areas with cool, clear water. Dry your stairs with a soft dry cloth to avoid any discolouration of the marble. Part of your marble maintenance involves sealing the stone to prevent any damage, and this is particularly important on a staircase which will be regularly used. We would recommend sealing your marble staircase every 3-6 months to protect the colour and durability of the stone.

Marble Care Tips

  • Clean up any spills as soon as possible to protect the quality of the stone
  • Likewise, use a soft brush to regularly sweep away any debris
  • Use marble polishing powder to restore dull areas
  • Never let marble air dry as this can result in discolouration
  • Any acidic liquids can damage marble, including things like wine and fruit juice, so keep these away from your staircase
