I had someone working with me in a very high end home, with, yes, marble countertops in the bathroom. We use vinegar and water on floors where clients prefer us not to use bleach or other harsh fume chemicals. The vinegar dripped on the countertop as she was cleaning the sink, and it ate thru the finish and ruined the countertop. Fortunately, the client was still under warranty for the home, so the contractor came by and refinished the marble top. This could have cost hundreds to be done. I have been cleaning houses for 8 years now, and the best solution in my opinion, mild dish soap and water, and rinse thoroughly, then dry immediately. Safe, effective, kills germs. You can add a cap full of vinegar to approx 16 oz (2 cups) of water and a few drops of dish soap to increase bacterial and viral contaminates if you so desire. However, remember, dish soap is a great sanitizer alone. Hope this benefits some of you! Thanks for reading :) PLEASENOTE, The use of vinegar is highly discouraged for marble finishes.
