  1. Mix 1 to 2 ounces of stone cleaner with 2 gallons of warm water. Fill the second bucket with clean, warm water.

  2. Apply cleaning solution with a soft sponge or soft natural bristle brush. Use a vigorous motion to clean the marble tiles and pay extra attention to stained areas. Work in a small area at a time.

  3. Rinse cleaned area with a soft sponge dipped into clean warm water.

  4. Dry marble tiles with a soft, absorbent cloth.

Tips

Keep a small squeegee in the bathroom and wipe marble tiles after each shower. This will reduce the build up of soap scum and make your weekly cleanings easier. A slightly stronger cleaning solution may get out stubborn stains. Apply with sponge and allow to remain on marble shower tile for about five minutes, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

Warnings

Do not use squeegees or other tools containing metal parts that may come in contact with the marble tiles---metal parts will scratch the marble. Call a professional to remove rust stains or water spots. Removal of both of these types of stains require resurfacing of the marble tiles.
