You have made an excellent investment in new natural stone. Stone is a natural product with simple care and maintenance you can keep it looking beautiful for years to come. This guide will give you recommendations for routine care and cleaning as well as simple stain removal techniques.
- Many foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the surfaces of many stones.
- Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices.
- Do not place hot items directly on the stone surface.
- Although we usually think of stone as hard, it is a porous material that can absorb spills and stains if left untreated.
- Sealing your stone with a quality impregnating sealer will prevent most spills from damaging your investment.
- We recommend StoneTech Professional Heavy Duty Stone Sealer for less porous or semi-porous stone and Stone Tech Professional BulletProof Stone Sealer for very porous stone.
