Preserving Your Investment: A Care & Maintenance Guide
With simple and consistent care, your natural stone surface will maintain its stunning appearance for decades.
Daily & Weekly Cleaning Routine
For Everyday Use:
Wipe surfaces clean using a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral dish soap. Dry immediately with another soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Spill Management:
While highly stain-resistant, promptly clean up spills—especially acidic liquids like wine, coffee, or citrus juice—to maintain optimal condition.
What to Avoid:
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, bleach, ammonia-based products, or harsh chemicals on the leathered finish as they can dull the surface and degrade the protective sealant.
The Essential Role of Sealing
Initial Protection:
Your surface arrives professionally sealed from our workshop. This impregnating sealer creates an invisible barrier within the stone to repel stains.
Ongoing Maintenance Schedule:
Periodic re-sealing is recommended to maintain protection. Perform a simple water bead test every 6-12 months: if water soaks into the stone instead of beading on the surface within a few minutes, it’s time to reapply sealer.
Application Process:
Use a high-quality impregnating sealer designed for natural stone:
- Thoroughly clean and dry the surface.
- Apply sealer evenly with a soft cloth according to manufacturer instructions.
- Allow it to penetrate (typically 10-15 minutes).
- Wipe away any excess residue before it dries.
Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Proactive Protection Practices
Heat Protection:
Always use trivets or hot pads under pots, pans, and heated appliances. Sudden extreme temperature changes can cause thermal shock, even on heat-resistant materials like this one.
Surface Preservation:
Always use cutting boards. Direct cutting can dull knives and may scratch even durable stones over time. Handle heavy objects carefully; avoid dragging them across the surface.
Addressing Minor Stains & Issues
For dried spills or light stains:
- Create poultice using baking soda mixed into thick paste.
- Apply paste over stain, cover plastic wrap, tape edges down.
- Allow sit undisturbed draw out stain(24-48 hours).
- Remove poultice carefully rinse area thoroughly.
For minor scratches consult us before attempting repair leathered finish hides imperfections better than polished surfaces.
