Care for Your Natural Stone
Natural stone contains a natural amount of calcium. Therefore, you should not use acid, as it dissolves calcium, and you risk depleting the natural calcium content of the stone. If this happens, you will notice that the sink becomes white, rough, and uneven on the surface.
Here’s how we recommend cleaning and maintaining your natural stone sink:
Before you start, make sure you have the following ready: micare cleaning soap – scrubbing sponge/brush – microfiber cloth – polishing cloth. (Polished stones need to be repolished)
- Start by cleaning the sink with the cleaning soap using the provided Oeko-Tex certified sponge. If the sink has tough ingrained dirt, use a scrubbing sponge on the rough side.
- Rinse off all the dirt and soap thoroughly.
- Dry the sink with a clean, lint-free cloth.
- Finish by massaging an ultra-thin layer of conditioner in circular motions.
- Polished surfaces should be repolished with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- The sink is now ready for use.
How long it lasts depends on usage. With daily use, treatment should be done approximately every three weeks.
We recommend rinsing the sink with warm water for daily cleaning. If the sink becomes very dirty, clean it with the cleaning soap, which is an alkaline soap especially suitable for natural stone. When dirt and calcium start to accumulate, it’s time for a new treatment.
The procedure is the same for all natural stone items like bathroom environments, coffee tables, benches, sculptures, and similar items.
Types of natural stone: Silgranit, composite, marble, granite, travertine, mosaic, sandstone, grasolit, graphalit, and more.
