Just in case we re applied sealer three coats to the backsplash ourselves.
Is marble backsplash easy to clean.
Marble backsplashes and countertop need to be sealed regularly and this can either be done by a professional or can be treated as a diy project.

I am sure it will be perfect.
Typically you should only clean your marble backsplash with soap once per year.
Just use warm water and dish soap and for stubborn stains a mixture of baking soda and water.
Add a few squirts of mild ph neutral dish soap.
It s an easy to clean material that can be sanitized with household cleaners or simply a bleach and water solution.
This cleaning solution is to be used infrequently and only for a deeper cleaning.
We plan to mount a 3 inch high strip of stainless steel flashing against the backsplash to divert future chicken smoke and grease from the marble.
Porcelain ceramic metal and glass tile top the easy care list because they resist staining are naturally nonporous and don t require any special cleansers to do the job.
This removes dust as well as any splatters or dirt you may not have noticed keeping them from becoming more difficult to remove later on.
Other tiles such as travertine marble and other natural stones are gorgeous in a backsplash installation but they have special care requirements.
It s long lasting and versatile stainless steel will never tarnish doesn t require frequent polishing and with regular maintenance can look great for many years.
