Natural Stone Care & Maintenance.

Routine Care
Natural stone requires some maintenance. Annually the top needs to be resealed with stone sealer. Once sealer dries apply stone polish and buff. For best results follow directions on Vangura® maintenance care products.

Difficult Spills
To remove difficult spills, wipe the surface with warm water and soap. For stains that harden as they dry, such as food, remove by applying the recommended poutice power, available through Vangura®, then clean using warm water and soap.

Extreme Heat Protection
Natural Stone is resistant to heat, and can withstand moderate temperatures for brief periods of time without being damaged. Although Natural Stone is heat resistant, all stone can be damaged by sudden and extreme temperature changes, especially near the edges. For this reason, we recommend using a trivet or a hot pad to protect your Natural Stone surface from extreme heat.

Chemicals to Avoid
Avoid exposing your Natural Stone surface to strong chemicals and solvents. Items to avoid include: nail polish remover, permanent markers or inks, oil soaps, and furniture cleaners or paint strippers that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride. Also avoid exposing your Natural Stone surface to chemicals with high alkaline/PH levels, such as oven cleaners.

General Precautions
Although Natural Stone is scratch and heat resistant, we recommend protecting your Natural Stone surface by using a hot pad or trivet for extreme heat protection, and by using a cutting board in order to avoid damage to your knives.
