The Challenge of Humidity in South Florida
South Florida’s tropical climate is part of its charm — but for luxury homeowners, the region’s humidity presents unique challenges. Marble, as a porous and delicate stone, can absorb moisture and lose its brilliance if not maintained properly.
From waterfront residences in Miami Beach to grand estates in Palm Beach, marble surfaces require specialized care to withstand year-round humidity, rain, and temperature fluctuations caused by constant air conditioning.
5 Essential Marble Care Tips for Humid Environments
1. Control Indoor Humidity
Use dehumidifiers in key areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and foyers where marble is most vulnerable. Keeping humidity below 60% prevents moisture absorption and mold growth.
2. Seal Your Marble Regularly
In humid climates, marble sealers should be reapplied every 6 to 12 months. This creates a protective barrier against water, spills, and etching.
3. Choose pH-Neutral Cleaners
Acidic products such as vinegar, bleach, or lemon-based cleaners can dull marble. Always opt for stone-safe, pH-neutral solutions.
4. Wipe Spills Immediately
Humidity accelerates staining. Spills from wine, coffee, or fruit juices must be cleaned instantly with a soft microfiber cloth.
5. Schedule Professional Polishing
A professional diamond polish restores brilliance and removes dullness caused by constant exposure to moisture. It also extends the lifespan of the stone.
