To protect your bath furniture, we suggest the following:
□
Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight, as sunlight causes fading.
□
Clean up spills immediately. Use a blotting rather than a wiping action. Water left over a long period of time will cause white spots in
the finish.
□
Alcohol, perfume, after-shave and medications can cause severe damage to the finish.
Maintenance
6
□
Dust frequently with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Clean the surface by rubbing in the direction of the grain.
□
Polish your furniture approximately every six months with a product that contains detergents, emulsifiers and mineral oil. The
detergents clean dirt from the furniture; the emulsifiers give it body to clean and last longer; the mineral oil is left behind as a barrier
for dirt and moisture that can harm the finish. There is no grit to harm the finish, no wax build-up, and no silicone to raise the sheen
and act as a barrier for touch-ups and refinishing.
□
Clean the outside surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth.
□
On stubborn stains, use a powdered detergent and damp sponge or nylon scouring pad.
□
Never use abrasive scouring powders, cleansers, or pads because they will scratch, damage, and dull the surface.
□
Clean the sink surface with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a soft cloth.
Natural stone tops:
□
Rinse vanity top with clean, hot water frequently.
□
Blot spills quickly, and wash with mild soap and warm water.
□
Clean the surface with a glass cleaner or other household cleansers that are non-abrasive
□
Remove oil-based stains with acetone, mineral spirits, or ammonia.
□
Organic stains like coffee, tea, or juice can be removed with hydrogen peroxide, mixed with a few drops of ammonia
□
Water spots or rings can be removed by buffing the spots gently with 00-gauge steel wool.
□
Small nicks and scratches can often be removed the same way.
□
Larger scratches, chips, and resilient stains may require professional help. Please contact your local stonemason for details.
