As the sun sizzles in Dubai’s sky, you might find yourself wondering how to keep your luxurious marble surfaces shimmering just as brightly. In the face of Dubai’s high-heat summer season, we’re here to ensure that your marble stays cool, crisp, and impeccably polished.
Firstly, let’s bust a myth: Marble is a tough cookie. This metamorphic rock has seen it all, from the intense pressure underground to the sculptor’s chisel. But like anything of beauty, it demands care – especially when the temperature soars. Here’s your ultimate guide to maintaining marble surfaces in the face of Dubai’s high heat.
1. Keep it Cool: Marble may not sweat, but it can suffer in extreme heat. Avoid placing hot items directly on the marble. Use coasters, mats, or trivets to protect the surface. Also, regulate indoor temperatures where marble is present to ensure the longevity of your stone.
2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Water isn’t just essential for us humans in the heat. Marble loves a gentle wipe-down with a moist cloth. This removes dust that can otherwise settle into the pores of the marble. However, avoid letting water sit on the marble surface as it can seep into pores and cause stains or damage.
3. UV Protection: Too much sun exposure can lead to discoloration of your marble surfaces. Use window treatments like curtains, shades, or UV-blocking window film to protect your marble surfaces from the sun’s harshest rays.
4. Keep it Sealed: A high-quality sealant is your marble’s best friend. This protective layer wards off stains, helps in heat-resistance, and makes cleaning easier. Consider resealing your marble surfaces annually, especially just before the heat hits.
5. Regular Polishing: Routine professional marble polishing keeps your marble glistening, regardless of the weather. It helps to maintain the marble’s luster, remove minor blemishes, and enhance heat-resistance.
