Stone Care

Custom stone fabrication is an investment, it increases the value of your home - dollar for dollar. Installing custome stone in your home of business makes a statement of value. Easy to maintain and always in style. The perfect finish for your kitchen, bath or business. Select from dozens of colors and patterns for just the right look.

Its hard, nonporous surface makes stone simple to clean. In most cases, soap and water or a mild detergent is all that is required to maintain its luster. If necessary, a non-abrasive cleanser such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel with Bleach or Comet Soft Cleanser Cream With Bleach can be used along with a non-scratch or delicate scrub pad such as blue Scotch-Brite sponge. Adhered materials like food, gum, nail polish, or dried paint can be scraped away with a plastic putty knife; any marks left by the blade can be removed with Soft Scrub Liquid Gel and a blue Scotch-Brite pad. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean water to remove residue.

While stone does not require sealants or waxes to maintain its luster, occasional polishing with Soft Scrub Bleach Gel or Comet Gel will keep the surfacing looking its best.

Please understand that HONED finishes will require more daily maintenance than polished finishes. Since there is more exposed surface area with honed finishes, metal marks, finger prints and other signs of daily living will show on honed material. Most of these marks can be easily removed with little effort and non-abrasive cleaning products such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel. For tough stains, work the area with a blue Scotch Brite pad.

Stone provides a virtually care-free surface, but as with any product, excessive abuse can harm its finish. With a small amount of care, your stone surface will look as great as the day you bought it for years to come.
