2 tablespoons of baking soda
1 tablespoon of liquid Marseille soap
2 liters of water
Pour the water into a bucket, then add the baking soda and Marseille soap. Mix everything together and soak your mop with this mixture, then wipe it over the entire surface to be cleaned to remove dirt and bad odors.

You should also know that it is not recommended to use acidic products such as vinegar, lemon or citric acid on natural stone, granite or marble surfaces, at the risk of damaging them over time.

To clean joints, use baking soda, which is also a powerful bleaching product. To take advantage of its stripping powers, mix three parts baking soda and one part water to obtain a consistent paste. Spread it over the joints with a brush and rub. Leave it to act for a few minutes before rinsing and wiping with a dry cloth.
