Tumbled marble with porc. tile

I have a walk in shower that has tumbled marble on the floor but porc. tile on the walls. Can I use the same cleaner on the porc tile as I use on the marble floor?
 

Dear Misty:

If it is a tile cleaner that you have in mind, then it is not safe on marble. But a product to clean marble can, obviously, also clean ceramic tiles.

Of course for a shower stall you can't use just a tile or marble cleaner (whatever they mean). You need specific products designed to remove soap film and (occasionally) mildew, such as MB-3 and MB-9.
