Marble threshold of dirty windows? No problem, follow these remedies
We have learned over time that there are materials that are particularly difficult to wash. Especially if we are talking about natural stones such as marble , which could be damaged or stained by absorbing the products used to clean.
Today we will apply some of our grandmother’s remedies on the marble of the windows to make it clean and shiny again.
How to clean and polish marble
The first thing you will have to do is obtain the necessary ingredients . You will need: 1 tablespoon of Marseille soap, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 800 ml of water.
Cut the Marseille soap into flakes and melt it in a bain-marie. Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir until you obtain a thick mixture. Add the water and pour everything into a spray bottle.
Dust the marble under the window with a damp microfibre cloth. Pour a few drops of the mixture and rub. The marble is now perfectly clean but if you also want to polish it you can take a woolen cloth and rub it vigorously on the marble. You will get a truly surprising result.
There are also other natural remedies for cleaning marble. For example, you can mix warm water and lemon juice in equal parts and clean the surface with a soft cloth .
If in addition to cleaning it you also want to make it shiny, use alcohol and bicarbonate . Pour 3 teaspoons of alcohol and 2 of bicarbonate into half a liter of boiling water. Pour a few drops of the mixture onto a microfibre cloth and rub. In addition to eliminating stains, you will have a plate as shiny as new.
As an alternative to lemon juice you can use vinegar . Dilute it with water in equal parts and rub with a soft cloth.
If after washing with natural ingredients you are still not satisfied you can resort to using pumice stone . Pulverize the pumice stone, place it on a damp sponge, rub the marble with circular movements, rinse with water and dry.
