Question
hi! I have a beautiful black marble table and I'd like to know if there is any special oil or wax to clean it or make it shiner?? so far what I use is only soapy water,,,any other suggestions? thanks!  ;)

Answer
The only thing I found was to use a mild detergent solution which is basically dish soap.

Also you could try to seek out a company that sells marble and see if they have a cleaner or polish.

I have read mixed reports on waxing marble. Some people say it worked, others say it discolored the marble. So since its 50/50 I wouldn't recommend trying it. They do say if you go with a wax, to make sure it is a colorless wax.

Hope this helps.
