Quality Information

Porosity

Natural stones like granite and slate can be less porous, while limestone and sandstone can be more porous.

Durability

Stone is generally durable, but some types are more susceptible to staining, scratching, and weathering.

Maintenance

Sealing is recommended for more porous stones. Regular cleaning with mild solutions is important. Avoid harsh chemicals.

General Protection & Care Instructions

  1. Regular Cleaning:

    • Dust the stone furniture regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent the buildup of dirt and debris.

    • Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any stains or spills. Use mild, pH-balanced soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the stone.
       

  2. Avoid Direct Sunlight:

    • Place stone furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration of the stone surface over time.

  3. Use Coasters and Mats:

    • Always use coasters, placemats, or trivets under glasses, plates, and hot objects to prevent scratches, heat damage, and moisture penetration.

  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

    • Do not use harsh or acidic cleaning products, as they can damage the stone's finish. Acidic substances like vinegar, citrus juices, or harsh chemicals can etch the stone surface.

  5. Sealing and Protection:

    • Depending on the type of stone, it may require periodic sealing to protect against stains and moisture penetration. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for sealing frequency.

  6. Maintenance for Outdoor Stone Furniture:

    • Stone furniture kept outdoors is exposed to weather elements. Cover or move the furniture indoors during harsh weather conditions to prevent damage from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

  7. Gentle Cleaning Techniques:

    • For stubborn stains, use a stone-specific cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the stain with a soft-bristle brush or non-abrasive sponge.

  8. Avoid Sharp Objects:

    • Prevent scratches by avoiding the use of sharp objects directly on the stone surface. Use cutting boards for food preparation.

  9. Drying:

    • After cleaning, make sure to thoroughly dry the stone surface to prevent water spots and moisture-related issues.

  10. Avoid Heavy Impact:

    • Prevent chipping or cracking by avoiding heavy impacts or dropping heavy objects on the stone furniture.

  11. Regular Inspection:

    • Periodically inspect the stone furniture for any signs of damage, such as cracks or chips. Address these issues promptly to prevent them from worsening.

  12. Specialized Stone Types:

    • Different types of stone (marble, granite, limestone, etc.) have varying care requirements. Research and follow specific care guidelines for the type of stone used in your furniture.

  13. Maintenance Schedule:

    • Establish a regular maintenance schedule based on the usage and exposure of your stone furniture. This can help prevent long-term damage and keep the furniture looking its best.

  14. Professional Maintenance:

    • If the stone furniture has significant damage or wear, consider consulting a professional stone restoration specialist for repairs and refinishing.

By following these general protection and care instructions, you can ensure the longevity and beauty of your stone furniture, keeping it looking elegant and well-maintained for years to come.
