        "text": "Sealing is a critical step for marble in a bathroom to protect it from stains and etching. Marble is porous and can absorb liquids, leading to discoloration. A penetrating sealer is applied to fill the pores and create a barrier without changing the marble's appearance. The initial seal should be applied immediately after installation, and re-sealing is typically recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and the type of marble and sealer. Regular testing by placing a few drops of water on the surface can help determine if it needs re-sealing.",
