Application-specific cleaning instructions

FLOORING APPLICATIONS

Dust interior floors frequently using a clean, dry dust mop. Sand, dirt and grit

do the most damage to natural stone surfaces due to their abrasiveness. Mats

or area rugs inside and outside an entrance will help to minimize the sand, dirt

and grit that will scratch the stone floor. Be sure that the underside of the mat

or rug is a non-slip surface. Do not use vacuum cleaners that are worn -- the

metal or plastic attachments or the wheels may scratch the surface.

BATHROOM APPLICATIONS

In the bath basin or other wet areas, soap scum can be minimized by using a squeegee after each use. To remove soap scum, use a non-acidic soap scum remover or a solution of ammonia and water (about 1/2 cup ammonia to a gallon of water). Frequent or over-use of an ammonia solution may eventually dull the surface of the stone.

VANITIES + OTHER COUNTERTOPS

Vanity tops may need to have a penetrating sealer applied. Check with your

installer for recommendations. A good quality marble wax or non-yellowing

automobile paste wax can be applied to minimize water spotting.

KITCHEN APPLICATIONS

All natural stone used for kitchen countertop applications must be regularly

maintained and resealed to prevent staining. Always use a neutral detergent to

clean marble countertops.

EXTERIOR POOL + PATIO APPLICATIONS

In outdoor pool, patio or hot tub areas, flush with clean water and use a mild

bleach solution to remove algae or moss.
