A marble pastry board can be used for a variety of kitchen activities but is most commonly used for preparing bread and pastry dough. Marble is ideal for this because its cool surface prevents the dough from sticking. A pastry board made of marble is the most expensive, so it's important to care for it correctly.
Step 1
Clean the marble pastry board after each use. Wipe down the pastry board with a damp rag. Dry the pastry board with a cloth.

Step 2
Use a cloth to wipe down the pastry board with a neutral cleaner, such as acetone, if it becomes stained. Stains can come from a variety of sources, including butter, which is often used in baking. Dry the pastry board with a cloth after applying cleaner.
Step 3
Polish your marble pastry board on a regular basis to maintain the board's shiny appearance. Marble polishing products are available at home improvement stores.
Step 4
Apply a protective sealer to the marble pastry board once a year. This helps prevents stains, and it improves the pastry board's appearance. Sealers for marble can also be found at home improvement stores.
Step 5
Don't damage the pastry board. Marble can easily break (or chip) when it is dropped. Avoid scratching the surface with a knife or other sharp object.
