How do I polish up a marble fireplace?
We don’t have a marble fireplace, but have marble and slate mantle clocks around the house. The best thing that we have found for bringing out the best in the marble/slate is normal baby oil. You will be surprised what difference it makes. A little on a soft cloth, goes a long way and brings the marble up a treat. Another tip – if you get any chips in the marble, these can be repaired with a product called ‘milliput’. This can be found at most hardware outlets or art shops, comes in various colours and can be painted over if necessary. When applied to a chip, it will set hard and ready to colour over. This will also repair china and porcelain and can be obtained in white as well as several colours.
