MAINTENANCE & CONSUMER RESPONSIBILITIES

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. 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 specically, 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 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 bufng 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.
