There are a number of different aspects to know about marble countertops including the two types of finishes as well as how to clean them. The two types of marble countertop finished include:
Honed Finish
Manufacturers create honed countertops by sanding the surface to a soft, matte finish. Honed surfaces hide scratches better than polished finishes. However, honed countertops absorb stains more easily.
Polished Finish
Polished countertops create a glossy and reflective appearance. These surfaces resist stains better than honed finishes. However, polished countertops can show scratches more easily.
Marble countertops also clean very easily. Warm water and mild dish soap work well for daily cleaning. Baking soda and water can help remove stubborn stains.
