Use and Care Guide
Stone
Natural stone offers timeless elegance but requires mindful care to preserve its surface.
Maintenance:
* Clean with a soft cloth and a small amount of stone soap or mild dish detergent mixed with warm water.
* Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaking.
* Blot spills immediately to prevent absorption.
Precautions:
* Avoid acidic substances, which may etch or dull the surface.
* Use placemats and coasters to protect against scratches and moisture.
* Do not allow liquids to sit on the surface.
Restoration:
* For staining, chipping, or surface damage, consult a professional stone specialist.
Lacquered Finishes
Lacquered pieces have been polished to bring depth and beauty. Although they are typically protected with a clear coat, they remain susceptible to wear.
Precautions:
* Use placemats or felt pads under objects that may scratch the surface, and coasters under any liquid containers.
* Do not allow liquids to remain in contact with lacquered surfaces.
* Avoid leaving rubber or plastic items on lacquer finishes, as they may cause damage.
Important Environmental Information:
* Do not place hot or moist objects directly on lacquer surfaces.
* Keep lacquered items away from heaters, air conditioning units, and direct sunlight.
* Avoid extreme humidity fluctuations; maintain levels between 35–45%.
* Excess moisture may cause swelling or warping, while overly dry conditions may lead to cracking.
Maintenance:
* Clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, followed by a dry polish with a soft cloth.
* Avoid heavy-duty polishes or waxes, which may discolor finishes.
Restoration:
* For stains or surface damage, professional refinishing is recommended.
