Stone countertops (Granit e, M arble, etc.) are surprisingly resilient to stains and scratches. However, as a preventative measure, any
spills on the stone surfaces should be wiped up within a reasonable amount of time. Don't let liquid sit on the stone overnight.
Stones are most prone to staining by oil and acid, so be sure to blot these spills up as soon as they happen. Follow up by cleaning
the stone with mild non-abrasive soap and wat er.
In usage of bathroom vanities, stone tends to attract soap scum. Rinse vanit y top with clean, hot water frequently, and wipe it up
liquid imm ediately.
The use of sealers is also a powerful preventative m easure. Your stone was sealed at the factory, but reapplication is necessary over
time, which is determined by the qualit y of the sealer used, and t he frequency of use. We recomm end using a penetrating non-toxic
sealer for bath areas.
If stains and scratches do occur, there are many t hings you can do as a consumer to rem ove them. Rem ove oil-based stains with acetone,
mineral spirits, or amm onia. Organic stains like coffee, t ea, or juice can be rem oved wit h hydrogen peroxide, and mixed with a few drops
of ammonia.
Water spot s or rings are the m ost common problem with bath vanities and are caused by minerals left behind when water evaporates.
These can be removed by buffing the spots gently with 00 gauge steel wool. Likewise, small nicks and scratches can often be removed
the same way. Larger scratches, chips, and resilient stains m ay require professional help. Please cont act your local stonem ason for details.
