Recommended Do's & Don'ts

Selecting a Stone Fabricator

 

Recommended Do’s and Don’t’s:

  • Do dust frequently.
  • Do clean surfaces with mild detergent or stone soap.
  • Do thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing.
  • Do blot up spills immediately.
  • Do protect surfaces with coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the stones surface.
  • Do use placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that can scratch the surface.
  • Don’t place hot items directly on the stone surface, use trivets.
  • 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 or tub and tile cleaners.
  • Don’t use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleaners or soft cleansers.
  • Don’t mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
