• When you notice a spill, immediately blot it up.
• Natural stone surfaces are to be cleaned regularly with warm water and a neutral cleaner using a nonabrasive clean cloth, sponge or mop.
• Ensure to rinse and dry the stone surface after cleaning.
• During Christmastime, there will be more foot traffic in the house and so protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or area rugs. Stone countertops are to be protected with coasters, trivets and placemats.
• Place felt pads underneath tables and chairs in order to avoid scratches on stone floors.  
• To avoid hard water or soap scum build-up, make sure to dry or wipe the water from shower walls immediately after you use it.
