can I use this on my marble kitchen counters. Is there an oil in this cloth?

No oil is in the cloth. After wetting cloth thoroughly with water, wring it out tightly so no water droplets will remain. I use this cloth for all my windows, too...inside and out! If it gets soiled, I wash with mild dish detergent or throw it in the washing machine then hang to dry. Never use fabric softener. When washing or drying the cloth.

I don't see why you couldn't use it on your marble. No oils in cloth. Best window cloth I have owned. However, the newer ones seem to have very fine little fibers on mirrors and windows....the best ones I have are the ones I have used for many years and have been washed multiple times. I highly recommend this cloth to anyone! Buy Sparkle glass cleaner also and not Windex.

I don't believe there is anything in the cloth. I have washed mine and it feels the same as when it was new.

There is no oil in this cloth. I use it on my cultured marble bathroom counters. They shine beautifully and I use only water to clean them.

No, not well. We applied three coats to our concrete counter tops and it did nothing but make the water bead a little. We ended up using tung oil and that made the biggest difference. Soapstone is meant to be oiled and resists stains better than concrete naturally.

Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant. Unfortunately, this table DOES take oil or hot/cold stains easily. Just try to wipe it up asap, and then if it's a colored or oil stain, I've found that squirting a small puddle of WINDEX on the stain and letting it sit for a while and then BLOTTING it up usually works. For stubborn stains, leave it longer, and repeat. And also stains will sink further down into the marble and fade as time goes on. It's a fancy dining table, so not good for kids or projects, unless you cover it up to protect the marble. Aside from that, it's an awesome table with a BEAUTIFUL natural surface, and I am extremely happy with it. Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant.

Yes Handy I'm afraid it will unfortunately scratch. My friend had gel-coated marble walls in her bathroom and used this scrubber to clean them. She then discovered the walls not only turned out looking grainy but the noticable scratches ruined the glossy shine. No Handy play it safe : do not use this scrubber if your bathroom has manufactured marble. This product is safe for porceline and non-cultured marble. I have noncultured marble in my bathroom and so far the scrubber works and cleans efficiently. Thanks for contacting me :)

The bottle says, "Not for use on granite or stainless steel." No mention of marble. It is specifically for "furniture, refrigerators, countertops, cabinets, Formica, laminated plastic, bathroom fixtures, chrome faucets, woodwork, vinyl, leather, plastic, and ceramic tile." I use it mainly on my windows.

I use it on our soapstone counters and it's great. More of a matte finish than oil and it lasts a lot longer. We apply about once a month and let it gradually fade. Definitely requires a little more effort to work into the stone, but worth it.

The folks at Rust-Oleum are pretty clear about using this product only on laminate countertops. You may need a master mason to help you restore an existing marble countertop. Good luck.jblofstein

The bottle specifically states "do not use on floors, may be slippery". That being said, you can imagine how nicely polished your granite countertops will be! I use this exclusively, about 1 a month or so and buff it up to a nice shine. I think you will be pleased if you have a need for this on your countertops. Sorry it can't be used on floors.

Have not tried that, I only use on my granite countertops, I would contact the company that makes it and present the question to them.

Hello Babs,Dr. Bronners soaps do contain essential oils. That would be my only concern. Dr Bronners is not a harsh soap though, so I would want to say it would be fine. Here is a good article on how to clean granite counters.http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-clean-and-disinfect-granite-countertops-cleaning-lessons-from-the-kitchn-202159

I would imagine it is safe to use on marble. However there is no suction retrieval of moisture with this machine so you might have to dry the floor with a rag or dry mop. The cleaning ability is very good and removes dirt as well as sanitizing. Hope that answers your question.

I cannot answer about marble floors. I used on my floating Allure flooring in my kitchen and also on old hardwood floors. I was very pleased with the results. They are long lasting too. I used it in May of 2013 and it has not been necessary to use again at this time. I will use it again when scuff marks appear again.

I have not used it on Marble yet, however I think it would work. Marble is a softer stone than Granite. However, I don't think you would want to use this in the kitchen as the water would get everywhere. However, I assume that if you could protect the wood cabinets and floor you might get away with it. I think I would start the grinding with a medium grit wheel and work my way to the fine grit. Don't use a lot of down pressure and keep moving as you grind. I don't think it will work on ceramic or porcelain tiles.

I doubt that this wax is suitable for countertops of any kind. It is primarily intended for use on such things as certain kinds of jewelry, picture frames, and decorative objects. I have never used it for surfaces that have a lot of wear, such as countertops, and I don't think that would work well.

Diane, marble is a stone and typically a highly buffed stone when used as flooring, it's safe to use for sure but you may loose some of your shine unless you plan on rebuffing the floor one you've got the floor clean and dry. Do not use anything ever in your steam mop other than RO water, purified water or distilled water. Hope this helps.........

I don't know what soapstone kitchen countertops are, but I use mineral oil on my bamboo cutting board and other natural woods.

I have never used this on marble, all I can tell you is that whatever applications I have used this product have worked and stayed together, not a problem. All I can suggest is to read the applications on the back of the product or on the website. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
