How to Care for your Marble & Natural Stone

Quarried directly from the earth, marble and natural stone vary in veining, texture and color. Whether polished, sandblasted or hand-carved, each is valued for its unique pattern and natural beauty.

• Address spills immediately with a dry, soft cloth. Natural stone is a porous material, and although it has been sealed, spills should be blotted promptly to minimize staining.
• Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to dust or spot-clean as needed. Wipe dry.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, strong detergents, furniture polish, and cleaners with bleach.
• Use trivets, coasters, placemats, and adhesive felt pads to help prevent scratches.

How to Care for your Veneer

Some of our most unique styles are crafted with high-quality or specialty wood veneers over a solid or engineered wood substrate. Our veneers are hand selected to add movement to a piece while minimizing the risk of expansion and contraction found in some solid wood products.

• Address spills immediately by wiping with a dry, soft cloth.
• Use coasters, trivets, and placemats for protection against hot or wet items.
• Dust regularly with a soft, damp cloth, followed by a dry one.
• Spot clean as needed with a soft cloth and mild soap.
• Do not use furniture polish, ammonia-based cleaners, or other chemicals as they will leave a wax buildup and will change the appearance of the wood over time.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, strong detergents, furniture polish and cleaners with bleach.
• Avoid lengthy exposure to direct sunlight (unless outdoor-specific items) as it may cause finish to change.
• Always lift and carry, do not drag when moving furniture.
