New Marble Bathroom - want to keep it looking good!

We just had 12x12 polished marble tiles installed on our shower walls, bathroom walls, and bathroom floor. The shower seat and vanity countertop is polished slab marble. The shower floor is 2x2 tumbled marble. What do I need do to keep it at its best. We have really hard water. I have also been told that using liquid rather than bar soap to bathe will help keep soap scum down. I believe the tiles are Burdur Beige(?) and the slab is Riveria Beige/Cappucino Beige (?) if that helps Also what about caulk, where and what kind? Thanks Thanks.

 

Dear Debbie:

Let me start by saying that I don't quite understand your last question about the caulk. What do you mean by that? Wasn't the caulk already applied where it belongs?... What is exactly that you would like to know about that?
