| Can anyone please help me. I am doing a builders clean and I don't know what to use for cleaning the Marble floors. So far I have tried washing up liquid and water, but this has left it all smeary. I expected to clean it and it would come up all shiney. I have been told that I have to be very careful about what I use. No lemon or bleach. HELP!!! |

| Floor probably needs polishing (WITH MACHINE) it will never look any better until you have it polished |

| And don't use vinegar. While vinegar is safe for most cleaning projects, it is not for marble. Don't use anything acidic. Plain hot water worked best for me. I pretty much agree with the link above except the air dry. I got a nice shine when I towel-dried the floor. I used a sanitizer around the toilets and it caused dullness. But I've got boys and I'd rather have a dull area around the toilet! Good luck. |

| Our Villa has the ordinary ceramic tiles on the floor not the shiny marble ones
I remember when my husband was in the forces we lived in Limasol
in the sixties, I used to buy liquid polish which was poured on to the floor and a mop used for
spreading around on the floor tiles, they came up lovely. Does any one know if you can buy similar here in the North. |
