We had a floor like this in a place where I worked, and it’s a total pain. You have to sweep the marble floor every day, and mop it with plain water once a week because cleaning products will eat holes in it. And then you have to dry the marble after you mop it, because you can’t let water set on marble.
The first thing you should do with a marble floor is seal it. The sealant will make it a little slicker than it would be otherwise, but it will keep the marble from getting stained. If your floor has wax on it and the wax is dirty, you can get a special wax remover to take the old wax off with so that you can re-seal your floor and put on a new coat of wax.
Everything stains marble. Wet a piece of paper towel the size of the stain with water and a little peroxide, then lay it over the stain and come back in a couple of hours. The stain should come right off.
This only works on stains made by food or plants. Make a paste with chalk dust and hydrogen peroxide, then put the paste on the stain and leave it there overnight. You might want to cover the paste spot up so that no one steps in it. Wipe the paste off in the morning (no more stain!), wash the spot off and then dry it. You can do the same thing for grease stains, but instead of peroxide mix the chalk dust with clear fingernail polish remover, the kind that has acetone in it.
Don’t take chances! If you really want to keep your marble floor nice, use a cleaner made especially for marble. Marble is so delicate, and so many things can hurt it, it’s better not to experiment with things to get it clean.
Miami Herald Advice column mentioned best product to keep marble floors looking new without the price of hiring a pro. Use StoneGuard Products, SCI, a Maryland company.
use liquid hand soap in a mop bucket with hot water and micro fibre mop make sure the mop is really squeesed out and just mop away finish with a dry micro fibre mop and they shine like glass try it.
