All natural stone table tops, which includes Tumbled Marble, Polished Marble and Granite, are treated at the factory with an impregnating sealer that penetrates deep into the porous surface providing a long lasting barrier that locks out oils, water, stains and dirt.

• Natural stone tops will fade in direct sunlight over time. This fading is a natural process and will be more noticeable on brightly colored stones and polished marble.
• Stone tops may be re-polished professionally, and always require resealing after polishing.

Cleaning & Care:
Handle with care. The table top has been sealed, but it still requires regular cleaning. Clean tops with a soft cloth or sponge that won't bleed color. Use clean warm water and a mild dish soap or neutral PH-based stone or marble cleaner (available at stone or tile shops and at most home improvement stores). Never use scouring creams, abrasive cleaners or acid-based products like ammonia, baking soda, or borax, unless they are specially formulated for use on natural stone or marble. Rinse with plenty of clean water to remove any soap residue. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent moisture penetration.

For optimum protection, tops should be resealed every 6 to 12 months. It takes just a few minutes to distribute an even coat of the sealer and then wipe the tabletop dry.

Airborne dust and dirt can easily be removed with plain water.

For more thorough cleaning, use a pH neutral cleaner such as Simple Green, a water-based biodegradable cleaner available in most supermarkets. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, which can break down the sealant. Spills should always be cleaned up reasonably quickly, since over time they may begin to penetrate the sealant.
