== Cleaning and preservation ==

Maintenance and cleaning is particularly important.<ref name="Better Homes & Gardens">{{Cite web |title=How to Clean Marble |url=https://www.bhg.com/homekeeping/house-cleaning/surface/how-to-clean-marble/ |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=Better Homes & Gardens |language=en |archive-date=2023-03-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230324065940/https://www.bhg.com/homekeeping/house-cleaning/surface/how-to-clean-marble/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Cleaning ===

* As a floor material, marble is easy to scratch. You can first use a vacuum cleaner to suck away the grit and dust on the marble floor, and then use a steam cleaner to remove other dirt.<ref name="This Old House">{{Cite web |title=How to Clean Marble |url=https://www.thisoldhouse.com/cleaning/reviews/how-to-clean-marble |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=This Old House |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-03-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230324065946/https://www.thisoldhouse.com/cleaning/reviews/how-to-clean-marble |url-status=live }}</ref>
