How to Polish Crystal Marble

Clean your crystal marble to make it look it's best.

Crystal marble is commonly used for marble balls. However, crystal marble can also be used as an accent in the home. The marble can serve as a counter top, flooring, columns, or even to decorate the area around a fireplace. The crystal marble is quite beautiful and its upkeep is simple. Whether you're polishing crystal marbles or a crystal marble counter top, the method is the same. With some water and a few simple household products, the marbles and/or the marble interior decoration will shine like new.

Things You'll Need

• Paper towel
• Water bottle
• Distilled water
• Scouring pad
• Wood furniture polish

Instructions

1. Wipe down the crystal marble using a piece of paper towel. This will remove any dust and dirt from the marble.

2. Pour some tepid, distilled water into a clean water bottle. Spray the water--lightly--onto the crystal marble. For crystal marble balls, simple wet a paper towel to clean them.

3. Clean the water from the crystal marble using another sheet of paper towel. For caked on messes on counter tops, use a scouring pad to remove them. Remember to never leave water standing on crystal marble (even if it's sealed). It can leave water stains.

4. Mist some furniture polish directly onto the crystal marble. Wood furniture polish works well to bring shine safely to the marble. For crystal marble balls, spray the polish directly onto a piece of paper towel to apply it to the ball.

5. Buff the polish into the crystal marble using a separate piece of paper towel.
