Complete Care & Maintenance Guide for Natural Marble Washbasins — India
Your Oceania natural marble washbasin is an investment that should last 50+ years with proper care. The good news: marble care is simple and takes less than 10 minutes per week. This complete guide covers daily cleaning, monthly maintenance, annual sealing, stain removal and everything else you need to keep your marble sink looking magnificent.
Daily Cleaning (2 minutes)
After use: Wipe any water droplets with a soft dry cloth — prevents water marks and mineral deposits
Cleaning product: pH-neutral stone cleaner or mild dish soap diluted in water (never undiluted)
Cloth: Microfiber cloth or soft cotton cloth only — never steel wool or abrasive pads
NEVER USE: Lemon, vinegar, bleach, acidic cleaners, bathroom tile cleaners (all will etch marble)
Weekly Deep Cleaning
Use a dedicated stone cleaner (Lithofin Stone Care, HG Stone Cleaner or similar)
Apply with soft cloth, wipe clean, rinse with clean water, dry immediately
Clean drain area and faucet base to prevent mineral buildup
Annual Sealing — The Most Important Step
Sealing is the single most important maintenance step for a marble sink. A quality penetrating sealer fills the microscopic pores in the stone, preventing staining and water penetration. Seal once a year, or when water no longer beads on the surface.
Recommended sealers in India: Lithofin MN Stain-Stop, Tenax Ager, SCI Stone Care International
Process: Clean the sink thoroughly, apply sealer with soft cloth, allow to penetrate 10-15 minutes, wipe off excess, allow 24 hours before use
Frequency: Once a year for most marble | Twice a year for softer stones like onyx and lighter marbles
Stain Removal Guide
Soap scum: Use a stone-safe degreaser, apply, let sit 5 minutes, wipe clean
Hard water deposits: Apply diluted stone descaler (not acidic) with cotton wool, wipe immediately
Oil-based stains: Apply flour / baking soda poultice over the stain, cover with plastic, leave 24 hours, remove and clean

Products to Avoid — Critical Warning
NEVER: Acid-based cleaners (Harpic, Domex, Lizol, lime/rust removers)
NEVER: Bleach or bleach-containing products
NEVER: Abrasive scrubbing pads, steel wool, rough sponges
NEVER: Leaving acidic liquids (lemon juice, tamarind water, coca cola) on the surface
