How to Clean and Maintain Agglomerated Marble
Agglomerated marble is formed of marble or stone chips and dust. The binder can be epoxy or other resins.
While agglomerated marble tiles are very beautiful, using the wrong cleaning chemical can make the surface dull, look scratched all over, and possibly fade in colour. It may even go white.
In extreme cases, the wrong chemicals may result in cleaning marks (circular wiping or mop marks) are often obvious and can be seen across adjacent tiles. This is because agglomerated marble is very a sensitive tile.
This article will guide you to cleaning and maintaining your Agglomerated Marble so that it will be in optimal condition and last longer.

How to Polish your Agglomerated Marble
To polish your Agglomerated Marble, we recommends the use of Marble Polish.
Marble Polish

Marble Polish gives matte and dull coverings a fresh appearance and also protects new coverings against watery stains and dirt.

1. Shake the Marble Polish well before use.
2. Spray thinly and evenly onto the surface, distribute with a clean cloth or sponge.
3. Subsequently polish with a dry, soft cloth.
4. In case of strongly absorbent materials, repeat the procedure.
5. Thorough polishing increases the degree of gloss.
How to Maintain and keep your Agglomerated Marble in good condition
To maintain your Marble, we recommends using Granite and Marble Impregnation once a year or so.
Granite and Marble Impregnation
$60.00 $48.00
Granite and Marble Impregnation is a ready-to-use special impregnation that protects against oil, grease and water marks. It also helps to block dirt, moisture, paint, oil and grease, and makes cleaning easier. In the event of a spill, any staining liquids can be wiped off easily before they penetrate the surface. Finally, it protects grout against water and oil-based marks.
1. Ensure that the base is clean, dry and absorbent before the treatment.
2. Apply the undiluted product liberally, in an even layer – according to how absorbent the base is – using a soft brush or plastic roller.
3. A second application will make it more effective, but only apply as much as the base can absorb.
4. Let it sit for about 1 hour, then use a dry, absorbent cloth to wipe away any impregnation that did not soak in. Do not leave any streaks.
5. The drying time is 3 to 4 hours; do not step on the treated surface during this time.
6. The impregnation will take full effect after 24 hours
