Valley Gold Vein Marble countertops can be more prone to staining compared to other types of marble or granite countertops. Marble is a softer and more porous natural stone, making it more susceptible to absorbing liquids and staining. To maintain the beauty of your Valley Gold Vein Marble countertops, it is recommended to promptly clean up spills and avoid placing hot pans or acidic substances directly on the surface. Sealing the marble regularly can also help protect against staining.
