Periodic Maintenance For Your Porcelain Stone Tile Table Top
Your stone tabletop is coated at the factory with a protective stone sealant. The sealer provides resistance from stains and moisture and helps
maintain the stone's natural color. For optimum protection, the stone top should be resealed every 6 to 12 months after it has been thoroughly
cleaned of all dirt and debris. Stone sealer is available at most club and hardware stores. Use of place mats, table runners, and beverage coasters
will help in the prevention of scratches, stains, and will catch potential spills. Use the outdoor furniture cover provided to protect your investment
.
when not in use.
Cleaning Your Porcelain Stone Tile Table Top
Maintain the new look of your stone top by removing dust and dirt with plain water periodically. Occasionally rinse off your table top to prevent
debris from settling in and to prevent stains or discolorations. You can also use a mild detergent mixed with water and scrub the table top with a
soft, clean cloth or sponge. Immediately dry your table top after cleaning to prevent moisture penetration and water spots. Spills should be cleaned
up immediately as they may begin to penetrate the sealant. For more thorough cleaning of the table top use a water-based biodegradable cleaner.
Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, which can break down the sealant and possibly damage or discolor the stone. You should never use scouring
creams, abrasive cleansers, vinegar cleaners, acid-based products or any alkaline-based products such as ammonia, baking soda or borax.
Cold Climates
We recommend that your stone top be stored in a dry area in cold climates or be covered with furniture cover provided. Make a tent with the cover
so that it is not touching any part of the tabletop, this will promote airflow and allow moisture to escape. It is possible that prolonged contact with
snow can cause moisture to penetrate the sealant on the tabletop. Stone is porous, and if moisture were to enter the stone and freeze, the stone
may crack. Always seal the tabletop before each winter for added protection.
Hot Climates
The porous nature of stone leaves it susceptible to heat retention. Care and caution should be used when handling a stone top that has been
subjected to lengthy sun exposure. It is recommended that you use this product under a protective shade canopy.
