TA regular maintenance regiment will help your natural stone become more resistant to scratching and wear. Natural stone, especially polished stone, is sensitive to harsh chemicals. Do not use vinegar or any cleaners containing acids or strong alkaline agents. We recommend wiping or mopping stone surfaces with warm water or a pH-balanced neutral cleaner, followed by dry-wiping.

Stone Care Tips:
(Note: To get the best advice, we recommend contacting our professional care experts to discuss your concerns.) If you spill acidic juices or alcohol on the stone, you should blot dry immediately. Acid-based foods, such as citrus or tomatoes, can etch into the polish of more delicate stones, like marble and onyx. Do not place hot items, such as pots and pans, on any stone. As a safety precaution, use coasters on counter tops. To prevent alkaline and soap-scum buildup, use squeegees in shower areas. Other large surfaces, such as flooring, are best cared for by a licensed maintenance company to protect the natural stone.

Tops in Stone, LLC recommends that a penetrating sealer be applied soon after installation of natural stone products. A quality impregnating sealer penetrates stone, allows the stone to breath and permits more of the stone’s natural beauty to shine through. Unsealed stone is more susceptible to absorbing moisture, dirt and cleaning chemicals.

We proudly use DuPont Stone Care cleaning products, the finest available.
