Precautions for Granite Marble and Limestone

Precautions for Granite:


•Do not use rust removers on a polished granite surface; these products may contain hydrofluoric acid which can etch or dull the surface.


Precautions for Marble and Limestone:


•Do not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface.


•Do not use cleaning products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids.


•Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that may etch or dull the stone surface.


•Do not place hot items directly on the stone surface. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that can scratch the surface.
