maintain marble<\/a> properly.<\/p>\nHere are a few of the things that may make marble less than ideal for your home.<\/p>\n
Staining<\/h3>\n
Marble is porous in nature and, as a result, doesn’t deal with liquids very well. This can lead to staining problems from even the smallest amount of liquid.<\/p>\n
Whether you’re pouring juice in the kitchen or brewing coffee, it’s important that you’re always careful not to spill any as it can lead to unsightly stains. If you do spill anything, you’ll need to clean it up immediately.<\/p>\n
The liquid easily goes deep into the stone so it makes it impossible in many cases to get rid of.<\/p>\n
This is true in the bathroom as well, even when using basic bathroom products such as nail polish, some makeups or other types of liquids.<\/p>\n
Not Durable Enough<\/h3>\n
Another problem is that marble is not the sturdiest of materials that you can choose for your countertops. It is softer than granite and can easily chip or break if handled in the wrong way.<\/p>\n
It’s important to be careful when using knives and other cooking materials. Any hard or sharp items that come into contact with the marble has the potential for causing lasting damage and problems.<\/p>\n
Easily Scratched<\/h3>\n
Marble is also easily scratched. Because it’s not very durable, it’s important to be careful with it, especially in the kitchen. It will quickly start looking bad if you’re not cooking and using your kitchen carefully enough.<\/p>\n
Whether you’re dealing with acidic lemon juice or sharp knives and utensils, you may just leave lasting marks if you’re not careful.<\/p>\n
Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n
While there are pros and cons to the material, marble countertops can be a good choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas. However, you need to remember what you’re dealing with and be well-prepared for its shortcomings.<\/p>\n
By keeping the above points in mind, you should be getting a better idea if it’s the right material for you and your needs.<\/p>\n
