carrara marble

Hi Maurizio!

I'm currently in the process of designing a 1920's style Italianate/
Mediterranean revival style house. I'd love to put carrera Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) in 
the kitchen but have heard so many things about staining, scratching, 
etc. What's the bottom line on using this beautiful surface in the 
kitchen and (http://maplered.com) bathroom? Aren't there special sealers that would protect 
the Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) while keeping it's natural beauty intact? I'd be committed 
to a regular maintenance schedule for them, but might rethink it if I 
have to be constantly wiping up and (http://maplered.com) cleaning within 30 seconds of 
every spill.

Thanks, Madeleine
