        "text": "Natural marble should be sealed immediately after installation and resealed every six to twelve months, depending on moisture exposure and foot traffic. Because marble is porous, an impregnating penetrating sealer is applied to absorb into the stone's pores and block liquids from staining. Shower walls, vanities, and kitchen surfaces exposed to daily water, oils, and hygiene products require more frequent checks than decorative walls. To test if it is time to reseal, place a few drops of water on the surface; if it darkens or absorbs within a few minutes, the marble needs a fresh coat.",
