Care and Maintenance of Natural Stone Countertops and Floors

Natural stones can be broadly categorised as siliceous and calcareous stones. The following general guidelines and precautions are applicable for both the types of stones:

When distributing alcohol or citrus juices to guests, you’re advised to use coasters under the glasses before placing them on stone countertops. Same way hot items directly from the stove or out of an oven should not be placed on the countertops unless there are trivets or mats under hot dishes. Also ensure to put placemats under china, ceramics, silver, or other objects that can scratch the surface of your costly countertop.

Blot up spills as soon as you see it. And remember not to wipe the spills, only blot it with a clean cloth. Place non-slip mats or area rugs on your natural stone floors to protect them from scratches and staining.

Abstain from using the following cleaners on natural stone surfaces such as marble, limestone, travertine, or onyx:
1. Vinegar, lemon juice, or other cleaners containing acids.
2. Cleaners that contain acidic components like bathroom cleaners, tile & grout cleaners, bath tub cleaners etc.
3. Abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers, soft cleansers etc.
