So you are one of the fortunate ones to buy a marble freestanding bathtub  This is a type of bathtub that is quite a luxury for many individuals, as it is so rare and expensive. Because of its rarity, it requires some very special cleaning methods.

These beauties are commonly made from limestone and polyester resin. These types of materials require more maintenance as they are more prone to scratches and discoloration.

After you have thoroughly scrubbed the bathtub, go ahead and drain the bathtub. Once you have drained the bathtub, you should fill the bathtub again to make sure you have rid the bathtub of any dirt and all of its stains.
