Everyday Care
• Avoid putting heavy items on to the glass surface.
• Do not place hot vessels directly atop the glass surface as it can shatter due to expansion and
contraction at times.
• Wipe the surface regularly with a damp cloth soaked and wrung in lukewarm water.
• Avoid scratching and damage from cutlery by using placemats, coasters and trivets.
• Use store bought glass cleaners or natural cleaners to remove smudge and greasy fingerprints.
Marble
Marble-top tables make for some of the most elegant furnishings in homes. This natural stone derived
from calcium has a beautiful white tone with natural patterns on it which make it unique. In addition to
its beauty, marble is also known for its durability and if cared for appropriately, it can last for years to
come. Considered fairly easy to maintain, Marble surfaces can be cared for with these few easy steps.
Preventive Care
• Clean/Blot spills immediately as marble is porous and can be stained especially by acidic
substances like coffee, fruit juices, wine etc.
• Clean regularly after use with a damp cloth soaked and wrung in clean water. Avoid using
cleaning solutions daily.
• Marble is a soft stone and is subject to scratching and etching. Avoid placing cutlery, and sharp
objects directly on the surface. We recommend using placemats, trivets and coasters at all
times.
• Do not use store bought all-purpose cleaners that contain acidic or alkalic components. They
tend to stain and cosmetically damage the marble. Instead, use a dedicated marble cleaner for
your surface.
• We also recommend against the use of acidic natural cleaners like vinegar, lemon, ammonia or
orange best cleaners. They’re very likely to stain your marble top.
Annual Sealing
• Once a year, it is recommended that you use a dedicated marble sealer. Since marble is porous,
water and other liquids may seep through if the sealer coating ceases to exist. Thus, once a year
it is recommended that you use a sealer coating to give your marble surface a protective layer.
