Care and precautions
 

• 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.
