Alkaline and Acid
Spills from drinking liquids or food containing acid will cause dull marks to form on your marble and stone surfaces.

Not employing a consistent use of dry dust mopping may cause a decrease of shine. It may be a good idea to establish a yearly maintenance program in order to renew the shine.

This will help to reduce potential dull marks and scratches. Do not use hot water as it will cause the floor to streak.
