First off, know that marble is a natural stone so it does not require the same treatment as something like say, linoleum or ceramic tile. Marble is surprisingly vulnerable to certain chemical reactions, particularly if you use the wrong chemical to clean it. However, as we also know in the stone restoration business, it isn't just the cleansers that are the problem. Sometimes it is the water. Municipal water sources are usually high in trace minerals, essentially hard water. However, the method that they use to soften water usually involves salt, which can leave stains. In addition, a great many city water sources also contain trace amounts of chlorine, which is highly acidic.
