CARE, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid the use of all chemicals, household cleaners and abrasives that may damage the finish.
• Excessive exposure to sunlight and extreme changes in temperature and moisture can damage wood
furniture.
• Avoid placing hot appliances, such as curling irons and hot hair dryers directly on the countertop.
• Avoid placing extremely heavy items on marble top.
• Stone countertops 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 a mild non-abrasive soap
and water. In bathrooms specifically, stone tends to attract soap scum, just like man-made tile. Rinse
vanity top with clean, hot water frequently. The use of sealers is also a powerful preventative measure.
Your stone was sealed at the factory, but reapplication is necessary over time. How often is determined
by the quality of the sealer used, and the frequency of use. We recommend using a penetrating non-
toxic sealer for bath areas, but a food-safe sealer is typically not necessary.
• If stains and scratches do occur, there are many things you can do as a consumer to remove them.
Remove oil-based stains with acetone, mineral spirits, or ammonia. Organic stains like coffee, tea, or
juice can be removed with hydrogen peroxide, mixed with a few drops of ammonia. Water spots or rings
are the most 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 may require professional help. Please contact your local
stonemason for details.
