Caution not to place heavy objects on the marble counter top since it may scratch the marble when moved. As a natural stone, marble is very stone and it scratches very easy.
Marble Etching
Marble is very sensitive to acidic products and cleaning solutions. When an acidic product comes in contact with marble, it caused the calcium in the marble to fizz and to loose its shine causing etch spots.
In the Kitchen, marble can be etched with vinegar, salad dressing, soda, wine, lemon juice, and general purpose cleaners.
In the Bathroom, marble can be etched by tooth paste, toilet bowl cleaners, Tilex, CLR (CLR is very bad for marble), some bath soaps and shampoos and urine.
