Marble has been trusted for its enduring nature and dependability for flooring and wall tile for thousands of years. Here are a few guidelines on how to maintain marble tile flooring on a day to day basis to promote its long life and beauty:  

	Consider the nature of marble and other factors including the location of marble tile installation, the type and load of foot traffic, and the time and resources you will need to employ for maintenance after the installation. Depending on your research, decide if marble tile is the appropriate choice for your proposed location.
	Marble being a natural tile will be typified by a natural variation in color, shade and pattern. You can use this variation to create a completely individual pattern for your marble tile installation.
	Opening all boxes will allow you to check the variation of color and pattern on your marble tiles before installation. It will allow you to have an idea about the expected variation in your particular shipment.
	Read all warranty information as soon as you receive the shipment. This will guide you about your chosen variety of marble tile and will save you from voiding it by mistake.
	If you don’t have any prior experience with the installation of marble tile, hire a natural stone tile professional to avoid any mishaps and cost-incurring mistakes.
	Check for damage to tile before you install, and work with your sales rep about how to resolve any issues of breakage as early as possible. Some marble tile sellers will allow for a percentage of expected breakage during shipment. Make sure you're aware of this information too, preferably before you buy. This will allow you to account for any extra tile you'll need to order to make up for any square footage lost for reasonable breakage
	Make sure your installation site is clean, dry and level. It will ensure strength and a long life for your marble flooring and enable strong bonding of each marble tile.
	Follow a regular routine of cleaning and polishing for your marble tile flooring. Use only recommended cleaners and sealers, as advised by your flooring professional or local retailer. Do remember that all natural stones need to be sealed. Make sure you read the labels and instructions printed on the products you buy before using them.
	Do not allow spills to stand on the floor for long. Liquids, especially acidic substances – including some fruit juices – can corrode marble tile and dull its finish.
