Q: What is the texture on this tile?
A: The gator pattern is carved into the surface of the Eastern Black marble tiles, adding a raised etched texture that adds dimension and a combination of textures!
Q: How can I clean etched marble tiles?
A: Unlike damage to marble tiles that can be referred to as 'etching', this marble subway tile has an intentional, decorative pattern carved into the stone. To clean it, Tile Club recommends a marble cleaner that has a water-based, alkaline formula and is safe for use on stone, like Stonetech KlenzAll.
