Maintenance

□ Stone countertops (Granite, Marble, 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. Do not 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.

Care and Cleaning

□ Liquid spills, such as alcohol, medications, etc should be cleaned up promptly. Some liquids with high-acid content can etch marble
surfaces if left for any length of time. Popular products that should be promptly cleaned up are: shaving cream, toothpaste, perfume,
cologne, nail polish remover, hair coloring and perm products, shampoo, drain opener, and toilet bowl cleaner.
□ Place protective pads on the bottoms of any heavy objects, such as pottery, appliances, or other objects that may scratch the marble
surface.
□ Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough cleaning pads. If necessary, you can use a soft buffing pad.
□ Use coasters under drinking glasses to prevent glass rings on the surface.
□ Do not stand on the marble top to fix overhead lights or other items. Do not place extremely heavy items on the top.
