Note: All marble is porous and can stain over time, and some marbles are more porous than others. So, it is important to use a penetrating sealer to prevent stains from oil, wine, vinegar, or other acidic liquids. However, never use powdered cleansers or abrasive pads to clean marble. Even soft-scrub cleaners contain pumice, which is powdered volcanic stone, and might damage some marbles. Always use sealers and cleaning products designed specifically for marble
