Marble grit floors have been very popular in Italy in recent decades. They were very common in our grandmothers’ homes, as they represented a cheaper alternative to other types of materials.

Although they have gone out of fashion, marble grit floors are still present in our homes, and they retain a great charm, especially when they are original and ancient.

Not to mention that marble grit is also very resistant to blows and wear. Our grandparents were right to prefer it.

The only drawback of this type of flooring is that they tend to lose their classic shine. But fear not: you can thoroughly clean and polish marble grit floors with all-natural ingredients.

Below we suggest two effective remedies for having highly polished marble grit floors, as if they were new.

Natural detergent

Baking soda is abrasive enough to remove dirt without scratching the floor. Mixing it with alcohol and Marseille soap makes a perfect detergent for marble grit floors.

Mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 10 tablespoons of alcohol and 1 tablespoon of liquid Marseille soap.

Once you have a homogeneous mixture, dip a cloth in it and wipe it all over the floor. After about 5 minutes, rinse with a cloth soaked in warm water and well wrung out.

Repeat the application several times until you have a completely shiny floor.

Use only rubbing alcohol

This remedy is as simple as it is effective. Simply pour 5 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol into a bucket filled with warm water, and use the solution to clean the floor normally.

No rinsing will be required.
