Stone countertops (Granite, Marble, etc.) are surprisingly resilient to stains and scratches. However, as a preventative
measure, any spills on the stone surfaces should be wiped up within a reasonable amount of time. Don’t let liquid sit on
the stone overnight. Stones are most prone to staining by oil and acid, so be sure to blot these spills up as soon as they
happen. Follow up by cleaning the stone with a mild non-abrasive soap and water. In bathrooms specically, stone tends
to attract soap scum, just like man-made tile. Rinse vanity top with clean, hot water frequently.
The use of sealers is also a powerful preventative measure. Your stone was sealed at the factory, but reapplication is
necessary over time. How often is determined by the quality of the sealer used, and the frequency of use. We recommend
using a penetrating non-toxic sealer for bath areas, but a food-safe sealer is is typically not necessary.
If stains and scratches do occur, there are many things you can do as a consumer to remove them. Remove oil based
stains with acetone, mineral spirits, or ammonia. Organic stains like coffee, tea, or juice can be removed with hydrogen
peroxide, mixed with a few drops of ammonia.
Water spots or rings are the most common problem with bath vanities, and are caused by minerals left behind when
water evaporates. These can be removed by bufng the spots gently with 00 gauge steel wool. Likewise, small nicks and
scratches can often be removed the same way. Larger scratches, chips, and resilient stains may require professional
help. Please contact your local stonemason for details.
DO’S & DON’TS
• DO use preventative cleaning measures to keep your stone pristine.
• DO use sealers, applied according to the product specic directions.
• DO blot spills quickly, and wash with mild soap and warm water.
• DON’T use harsh bathroom cleaners or grout cleaners on any natural stone.
• DON’T worry if you get a signicant stain or scratch that your stone investment is ruined. Virtually anything can be
xed with professional help.
