Floor Surfaces
Dust mop interior floors frequently, using a clean
non-treated dry mop. Sand, dirt and grit do the most damage
to natural stone surfaces due to their abrasiveness.
Do not use vacuum cleaners that are worn. The metal or
plastic attachments or the wheels may scratch the surface.
Clean your natural stone on a regular basis with warm water
and a clean non-abrasive cloth, sponge or mop. In addition,
using a neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural
stone will help remove soils that normal dusting or damp
mopping leaves behind. We recommend StoneTech Professional
Revitalizer Stone & Tile Cleaner or revitalizer as directed
on the label.
Bath and Other Wet Areas
In the bath and other wet areas, soap scum and hard water
deposits can be minimized by using
a squeegee after each use.
Periodic use of revitalizer will remove any soap scum or
hard water deposits that may have formed.
Vanities and Countertop Surfaces
Many everyday food spills, cooking, oils, drinks and
toiletries contain acids and other ingredients that may
damage the stone's surface. Vanities and
countertops may
need to have a penetrating sealer applied. For everyday
removal of residues and spills, we recommend using revitalizer.
Food Preparation Areas
In food preparation areas, the stone may need to have a
penetrating sealer applied.
If a sealer is applied, be sure
that it is non-toxic and safe for use on food preparation
surfaces.
Outside Pool & Patio Areas
In outside pool, patio or hot tub areas, flush with water.
Other Surfaces
Clean stone surface with a few drops of neutral cleaner. Use
a clean rag or mop on floors and a soft cloth
on other
surfaces for best results. Do not use products that contain
lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble or other
calcareous stone. Do not use scouring powders or creams.
