Factors that damage marble slabs primarily include: • Acidic corrosion; • Alkaline chemical damage; • Scratches and wear from hard objects; • Thermal expansion and contraction due to high temperatures; • Long-term moisture damage; • Ultraviolet radiation; • Improper installation or structural stress; • Improper cleaning methods. These seemingly everyday factors are the primary causes of marble slab damage.

The answer is: No. Whether it's white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or diluted vinegar, it's not recommended for cleaning marble surfaces. This is because marble is primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), while vinegar is primarily composed of acetic acid (CH₃COOH). When these two come into contact, a chemical reaction occurs, producing carbon dioxide bubbles, water, and calcium acetate.

A marble slab measuring 800 × 800 × 18 mm has an area of ​​0.64 m² and weighs approximately 48.6 × 0.64 = 31.1 kg; A marble slab measuring 2400 × 1200 × 20 mm has an area of ​​2.88 m² and weighs approximately 54 × 2.88 = 155.5 kg.

Compared to granite, marble stone slab has a relatively low hardness (approximately 3-4 on the Mohs hardness scale) and contains tiny natural fissures. While these natural fissures are invisible to the naked eye, they can become potential stress concentration points when subjected to stress or temperature fluctuations, leading to cracking.
