Marble is a natural stone. With a little routine it lasts for decades, and it gets more personal as it ages.
Every day
Wipe the basin dry after use. Water that dries on the stone leaves a mark, and a dry cloth takes seconds. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner or a drop of mild dish soap in water.
Every month
Wash the whole basin with a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. Rinse well and dry. Check the sealant line at the wall.
Every year
Reseal the stone once a year with a stone sealer. Travertine is more porous, so reseal it twice a year. A stone care kit ships with your sink.
What to avoid
- Acids. Vinegar, lemon, limescale remover and many bathroom sprays etch polished marble.
- Bleach and harsh cleaners. They dull the polish.
- Abrasives. Scouring pads and powders scratch the surface.
If it stains
Blot, do not rub. Rinse with water and a pH-neutral cleaner. If a mark stays, send us a photo and the name of your stone. A poultice usually lifts it, and we will tell you which one suits your stone.
Veining varies
Every block is different. The veins, the color and the cloudy areas change from one block to the next, and no two blocks are alike. That is the stone, not a flaw.
