How to clean marbles and select cleaning floor pads? Is there any eco-friendly solution for this? How frequently do we need to maintain clean polish of the floor?

It is best to use a neutral floor cleaner to clean polished marble. Cleaners that are alkaline tend to reduce the polish and should, therefore, be avoided. Use a red or white cleaning pad as the black and blue/green pads are coarse and not suitable for a polished marble floor. Frequency of re-polishing depends on the footfall in the area. Generally, lobbies get the most amount of footfall and hence this necessitates re-polishing more frequently than rooms and passages. It is a good idea to install an entry way matting system to minimize the tracking in of sand and dirt under shoes. On a regular basis, you can use our SK-2 liquid crystallizer and when required you can use our 1500 and 3000 diamond pads followed by our Z-XTRA marble polishing powder.
