How do you Disinfect a Bathroom Marble Countertop?
Comments (19)I started using it one-two years ago (a bunch of old-timer kitchen forum folks swore by alcohol-water for their granite--it took me a few years to give it a try myself!). I use it on my granite and on a whim, tried it on my SS appliances (after scrubbing off every trace of the oil-based cleaner I had been using previously). Works well, is easy enough to mix up, and with the addition of the lavender oil (which is naturally anti-bacterial/microbial), smells very fragrant! An EPA doc said I could use as little as 10 percent (or even less?) alcohol to water, and it would still work as a disinfectant, but I use closer to 30-50% alcohol to water (I like the evaporation/de-greasing property at that ratio). When I mentioned lavender oil to him, the doctor very enthusiastically endorsed that addition to my mixture--not only for the anti-bac, but because he also loves the scent!!!...See MoreHow to clean new marble bathroom floor?

Comments (5)I am 99% sure your DH is not missing the target. It is the nature of water to splash when a stream of water hits it from a couple feet up. Try this yourself with a tub of water outside. Put paper towels around the tub and pour a small stream of water into it. The paper towels will show you where the splashes hit. Having said that, you are still getting a little urine even from the splash. But I would guess more of your problem is just water spots drying on the floor. Do you have hard water? They could be hard water rings. If so, then vinegar would take them off. Of course vinegar also takes the shine off of marble. I won't have marble in the house so I don't know if there is a mildly abrasive marble polish that might help you....See MoreHow to clean loose asbestos in bathroom?
