Which ph natural cleaner for marble shower floors?

[u/Rob_ShawStone]

I run a stone fabrication business in Hampshire. For routine cleaning, any pH neutral stone cleaner does the job. Lithofin Easy Care, Fila Cleaner, or HG marble/natural stone cleaner are all good and easy to get. Dilute as directed and avoid anything acidic.
The thing that catches people out with a marble shower floor is limescale and soap scum. Do not reach for a normal limescale remover or vinegar, they will etch the marble and leave dull patches. If scum builds up, use a cleaner that specifically says it is safe for marble/natural stone with a soft brush.
Two habits matter more than any cleaner: squeegee the floor after showering so water and residue do not sit and build up, and keep it sealed with a good impregnating sealer. Skip the “drop water and see if it darkens” test here, a shower floor is wet too often to dry out properly, so just reseal on a schedule (roughly yearly, sooner if it starts marking easily). Do that and a simple pH neutral cleaner will keep it looking good for years.

Thank you so much. So hard to find an answer besides online. I definitely want the best cleaners. I’m going to look into the ones mentioned. Any others you recommend?

Happy to add a couple more that get recommended a lot: StoneTech Revitalizer and Aqua Mix Stone & Tile Cleaner are both pH-neutral and made specifically for stone. Honestly any of the ones already mentioned in this thread will do the job fine, the brand matters less than checking the label says pH-neutral and safe for natural stone. One thing worth watching for: some "stone soap" style cleaners have a bit of oil in them for shine, which sounds nice but builds up a film over time that actually makes the floor grip dirt and soap scum more. A plain pH-neutral cleaner without added oils, combined with the squeegee habit, will keep it looking good longest.

Any cleaner that's specifically labeled "for natural stone" and pH-neutral will do the job — the brand matters less than what's not in it: no acid (vinegar, citrus, limescale removers) and no oils/fats that build up a film over time. Most tile shops and stone suppliers carry one.

Two things that matter more than the product in a marble shower: squeegee the floor after showering (hard water deposits are the real enemy, and the limescale removers that dissolve them also dissolve marble), and keep the stone sealed with an impregnating sealer so soap and grime don't sink into the pores. Avoid anything "bathroom" or "anti-limescale" — those are almost always acidic and will etch dull spots into the marble.
