Simple maintenance tips to keep your beautiful stone looking like new:

Dust mop! Dust mop! Dust mop! Sand, dirt and grit do the most damage to natural stone surfaces. Use a clean non-treated dry dust mop at least two or three times a day in high traffic areas and less often in low traffic areas. Walk-off mats inside and outside an entrance will minimize sand, dirt and grit that will scratch and dull the stone surface
Cleaning
Clean polished and unpolished natural stone surfaces daily in high traffic areas. Use a clean rayon or cotton string mop with cold or warm water and a good quality neutral cleaner. Follow the directions carefully; too much may leave a film and cause streaks.
Protection
Stone floors exposed to water and spills should be protected with a penetrating sealer.
Table and counter tops should also be protected with a penetrating sealer and paste wax to protect the stone against water rings and spotting.
SPILLS AND STAINS
Blot the spill with a paper towel; don't wipe it, it will spread the spill.
Flush the area with plain water and stone soap and rinse several times. Repeat several times if necessary. If the stain remains, a chemical poultice may be required. Check with your stone supplier or restoration firm for poulticing methods.
