Caring for Marble Bathroom Vanity Countertops
How to Care for Marble Bathroom Vanity Countertops
Marble countertops bring elegance and luxury to any bathroom. However, because marble is a porous natural stone, it requires regular care and maintenance to preserve its beauty. At Midway Granite and Marble, we not only install premium marble countertops in the El Dorado, Arkansas area, we also provide tips and tricks to hlep you keep them looking as stunning as the day they were installed.
1. Start with a Professional Seal
After your marble vanity countertop is installed, we apply a professional-grade sealant to protect the surface from moisture, soap, and cosmetics. This sealant fills the natural pores in the stone, helping prevent stains and etching. Over time, that barrier wears down—so we recommend resealing every 6–12 months, depending on how heavily the countertop is used.
Pro Tip: To test if your marble needs resealing, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If it darkens within a few minutes, it’s time to reseal.
2. Use Gentle, NATURAL, pH-Balanced Cleaners
For daily cleaning, wipe down your marble vanity with a soft microfiber cloth and a pH-balanced cleaner or mild dish soap diluted in warm water. Avoid acidic or abrasive products—especially vinegar, lemon, or ammonia—as they can dull the finish and damage the surface. A great option is Topanga Scents multi-purpose cleaner spray.
Recommended Routine:
Wipe spills immediately
Dry the surface after cleaning
Avoid leaving standing water or soap residue
3. Protect from Everyday Damage
Even with sealing, marble can be sensitive to scratches and etching from cosmetics, perfumes, and hair products. Use decorative trays or mats under these items to keep the stone protected.
Additional Tips:
Avoid placing hot styling tools directly on the marble
Use coasters or soft cloths under bottles
Never use steel wool or rough scrub pads
