Is it safe to use household bleach on white marble floor?


I would not recommend using bleach on any marble floor as a daily cleaner. Household bleach can cause staining on certain types of marble. Advise your customer to use only a good stone soap or neutral cleaner.

TIP: Occasionally, you will see bleach recommended for removing stains on marble. It is ok to use it for this purpose, but I would always test a small area first.
