HOW TO CLEAN A MARBLE SHOWER
Marble elevates the look of any bathroom. Since no two pieces of marble are the same, it adds a natural, one-of-a-kind beauty to showers, floors, and countertops. To keep marble looking its best, consistent and proper cleaning is essential.
Why Marble Needs Special Care
Marble begins as limestone, which makes it vulnerable to etching from hard water minerals and soap residue—especially in showers and other wet areas. That’s why it’s important to wipe down marble surfaces after each use to prevent buildup.
What NOT to Use on Marble
Avoid products that can damage marble’s surface and sealant, including:
- Acidic limescale removers
- Lemon, vinegar, or citrus-based cleaners
- Bleach or ammonia
These products can etch the stone and dull its natural shine over time.
The Right Cleaner for Marble
A pH-neutral cleaner like ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® is ideal for marble shower floors, walls, and other delicate bathroom surfaces. It dissolves tough stains and watermarks without damaging the marble or its sealant.
How Often to Clean
- High use (more than 1–2 times per day): Clean 2–3 times per week
- Light use (once or twice per day): Once weekly may be sufficient
Directions for Cleaning a Marble Shower
- Mix Your Solution Mix 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) of ADVANAGE 20X with 2½ cups of water in an empty spray bottle.
- Spray Generously coat sections of the shower floor and walls with the solution.
- Scrub Use a soft scrub brush to gently work on areas with soap scum or hard water stains.
- Rinse Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Use a detachable shower head if available
- Or rinse using a bucket of clean water
- Dry Wipe all surfaces until completely dry to prevent new water spots.
Optional: Polishing Marble After Cleaning
- Combine 45 grams of baking soda with 1 liter of water to form a paste
- Apply with a clean cloth.
- Allow the paste to dry for about 5 hours.
- Rinse with warm water using a microfiber cloth.
- Dry buff with a clean microfiber or chamois cloth.
Pro Tip
Seal marble with a penetrating sealer to extend its life in baths and showers.
Sealants do not make marble stain-proof or waterproof—but they help resist moisture and staining, making regular maintenance easier.
