Use neutral cleaners to clean stone surfaces viz. dish-washing liquid and warm water. Wipe clean with soft cloth for best results. Too much soap may leave a film and cause streaks. If streaking occurs it may be necessary to rinse the surface thoroughly after washing and dry with a soft cloth.

There are many over-the-counter cleaning products safe to use on stone surfaces. Please read labels carefully to chose appropriate products.

Do not use cleansers or products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids, as these products may etch the surface.

Spills should be cleaned up immediately to avoid staining.

Although natural stone is heat resistant it may not withstand the direct transfer of heat from pots and pans and other cooking units such as electric frying pans and griddles, some crock-pots, roaster ovens and heat lamps. Therefore, hot pads and trivets should always be used under the afore-mentioned items.

Your counter-top is in need of sealant if water left on the surface quickly soaks in, making it darker in color. Contact qualified installers to seal the stone as and when required.

Always use cutting-board etc. while using sharps knives, metals etc. on counter-tops.
Never apply excessive weight over your counter-tops.
