Marble is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which makes it highly reactive to acids. This is why common cleaning mistakes can cause irreversible damage:

• Etching: Acidic cleaners (like vinegar, lemon juice, or most bathroom cleaners) chemically react with marble, dissolving the surface and leaving dull, cloudy spots that look like water stains but cannot be wiped away
• Discoloration: Bleach can cause yellowing or light spots on marble
• Sealer degradation: Harsh chemicals strip away the protective seal, leaving marble vulnerable to deep staining

This is why pH-neutral, plant-based cleaners are essential for marble. They clean effectively without the chemical reaction that damages the stone.

• Soap scum and hard water buildup (especially in showers)
• Dull spots from previous acidic cleaner damage
• Mildew in grout lines
• Water spots and mineral deposits
• Pink biofilm (bacterial growth) on shower surfaces
