Buying a Marble Countertop

RE: Buying a Marble Countertop Post by SnowQueen (2) | (08/01/2008) Profile | Contact I've had marble counters in a bathroom and kitchen. Never again! Marble is far too easy to dull, stain, or otherwise ruin the finish. After experience, I prefer to admire it in pictures-- in someone else's house!

Yes, some water spots, but marble has so much more personality and richness that it's worth it. I'm going so far as to , heaven forbid, put it in my kitchen. I'm tired of granite. It has too much movement. Remember the show "Bridget loves Bernie"? One mom said, "old cashmere is better than new orlon". I'd rather have an old stately look than pristine and what everybody else does. Let's go for it!

I am on this web page looking for advice on how to paint my marble top because they have stains on them. Rust, something purple like a marker and other stains. I have tried everything to get them off. Soaking the spots with Clorox to nail polish remover. Yes it's easy to clean but once you mess it up it's messed up for good.

We love them. They are very easy to keep clean. The installer said the best thing to clean marble with is simple green. Works like a charm. Good Lcuk!

I love it and wished I had it a lot earlier. I don't know about the bathroom but why not? It's easy to clean and from the sealer put on when installed my counters do not water spot. I do have a mottled gray, white, and black to fit in with our decor so maybe with a total solid color it might be a problem. Check with you dealer. Report Spam or Abuse
