Caring for your Stone Installation:

The natural stone your have purchased for your home or office is an investment that will give you many years of beautiful services. Stone is a natural product and simple care and maintenance will keep it looking beautiful. Here are some recommendations for routine care and cleaning. 

• Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the stone surface.
• Do not place hot items directly on the stone surface. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and place mats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that can scratch the surface.

Cleaning Procedures & Recommendations

• Floor Surfaces

Vacuum or Dust mop interior floors frequently using a clean non-treated dry dust mop. Sand dirt and grit do the most damage to natural stone surfaces due to their abrasiveness. Mats or area rugs inside and outside an entrance will help to minimize the sand, dirt and grit that will scratch the stone floor. Be sure that the underside of the mat or rug is a non-slip surface. Normally, it will take a person about eight steps on a floor surface to remove sand or dirt from the bottom of their shoes. Do not use vacuum cleaners that are worn. The metal or plastic attachments or the wheels may scratch the surface.

• Other Surfaces

Clean stone surfaces with revitalizer or other quality stone soap and follow label directions. Use a clean mop on floors and a soft cloth for other surfaces for best results. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble or limestone. Change the rinse water frequently. Do not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface.

• Bath and Other Wet Areas

In the bath or other wet areas, soap scum can be minimized by using a squeegee after each use. To remove soap scum, use a non-acidic soap scum remover or a solution of ammonia and water (about 1/2 cup ammonia to a gallon of water). Frequent or over-use of an ammonia solution may eventually dull the surface of the stone.

• Vanity Top Surfaces/Food Preparation Areas

These areas need to have a penetrating sealer applied. Call our office for details

If a sealer is applied, be sure that it is non-toxic and safe for use on food preparation surfaces. If there is a questions, check with the sealer manufacturer.

• Outdoor Pool & Patio Areas

In outdoor pool, patio or hot tub areas, flush with clear water and use a mild bleach solution  to remove algae or moss.

• Do dust mop floors frequently
• Do clean surfaces with revitalizer, Klenz All or quality stone soap
• Do thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing
• Do blot up spills immediately
• Do protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or areas rugs and countertop surfaces with coasters, trivets or place mats
• Don't use vinegar, lemon juice or other cleaners containing acids on marble, limestone, travertine or onyx surfaces
• Don't use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners of tub & tile cleaners
• Don't use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers or soft cleansers
• Don't mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas
