Marble & Stone


How to care for your marble & stone furniture.
No two pieces of marble are the same, which makes it a beautiful and unique material to have in your home.
Marble forms over thousands of years and continues to develop its colour and tone over the course of its life.

General Care

  • Dust surfaces regularly with a microfiber cloth
  • For light cleaning, wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth to prevent spotting.
  • Marble & Stone is naturally porous and all spills should be cleaned immediately. Blot the spill with a lightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
  • Use coasters, place mats, trivets, table cloths and table runners to protect furniture surfaces from heat, stains and objects with abrasive finishes that may scratch your furniture. 
  • Avoid contact with products that have acidic properties, such as wine, juices, detergents and corrosive liquids. Contact with acidic items can dull, etch or stain the stone surface and can also destroy the sealant (if applied).
  • Do not let spills settle on the surface as the moisture from spills and/or sweating from cold liquids can be quickly absorbed by porous surfaces.
  • Do not leave objects in the same position on the furniture over long periods of time to prevent permanent discolouration.

 

Focused Care

All marble products are only suitable for indoor use unless specifically stated on the item specifications. If your product is marked as indoor/outdoor suitable, please follow these additional guidelines to ensure the longevity of your furniture.

Indoor/Outdoor Marble

  • All general care and important considerations on this page apply to and should be followed for indoor/outdoor marble product.
  • Consider using a cover to protect your indoor/outdoor marble furniture when not in use and prolong the life of your product.  If you choose to use a protective cover over your furniture, it is important to always follow the cover manufacturer's instructions for proper usage.
