Alabaster needs to be maintained with gentle care. Every now and then it should be cleaned with a soft cloth which is damp and mildly soapy water in order to get rid of dust, and dirt. Never use strong cleaning agents as they will scratch alabaster. Alabaster is greatly affected by acidic substances like vinegar and citrus juices, so keep drinks free of these things nearby. For any stains, cleaning with a mildly abrasive substance is good as long as it is wrapped in absorbent material. Try to keep alabaster away from sunlight for extended periods of time as this will make it lose its color. Doing regular maintenance keeps alabaster beautiful and long lasting.

Alabaster is such a versatile material. I used alabaster tiles in my bathroom, and they give it a luxurious and classic look. Just need to be careful with moisture, though.
