How to care for marble benchtops

Let’s talk about something that will keep your precious marble benchtops looking as stunning as the day you fell in love with it! 

Marble is a precious natural material that adds a touch of elegance and class to any space. That’s why it’s essential to look after your marble benchtops to ensure its durability. Marble is porous like a sponge, which means it can soak up liquids and stain. We definitely don’t want that to happen to your Uniq Stone benchtops! So sealing your marble is like giving it a protective armour.

The process of sealing marble involves applying a special sealant to your marble surfaces to protect it. This sealant is absorbed into the tiny pores of the marble and creates an invisible barrier. It stops liquids from being absorbed by the marble and prevents unsightly stains. Coffee, tea or red wine spills don’t stand a chance!

But wait, there’s more! Sealing not only protects against stains, but it also makes cleaning your benchtops a breeze. Sealing cuts down on the hassle of scrubbing and scrubbing to get rid of a stubborn stain.

How to Know if Your Marble Benchtop is Sealed?

• Do a water test. Pour a small amount of water onto the surface of the stone benchtop. If the water beads up and rolls off, the marble benchtop is sealed. If the water is absorbed into the surface, the marble benchtop is not sealed.
• Ask the installer. If you’re not sure if your marble stone benchtop is sealed, ask the person who installed it. They should be able to tell you whether or not the sealer was applied.
