Maintenance

To preserve the beauty of your marble sculpture, clean it regularly using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For a more thorough cleaning, you can gently wipe with a damp cloth, avoiding using too much water. In case of more stubborn dirt, use a solution of warm water and neutral soap, making sure to dry immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Always avoid aggressive, acidic or abrasive chemicals, which could damage the surface and compromise the natural shine of the marble.
