CARE INSTRUCTIONS MARBLE & TRAVERTINE

MARBLE

Marble is a beautiful natural material, whose appearance is always unique. Each individual piece of marble has its own unique veining in different colours, but also with small watermarks (calcite) and sand pits as natural features. Watermarks originate from water veins in the stone, where lime from the water has solidified, and sand pits are the air bubbles that form when the stone is created. This gives each stone its own character, where no stone is like another.

TRAVERTINE

Travertine is a natural limestone and is a material that provides a luxurious and sophisticated expression. The surface is naturally full of small cavities, which are filled before the final grinding and polishing is carried out. Travertine has historically been used as a building material, and it is now used for floor, wall, kitchen and table surfaces.

Marble and travertine are delicate and porous materials that require care and maintenance. The surface is sensitive to moisture and dirt and is affected by daily use. Therefore, vases and other objects should not be placed directly on the surface, as this may cause discolouration. Do not drag objects across the surface, as this will cause surface damage. 

GOOD TO KEEP IN MIND IN EVERYDAY USE

• Our furniture is intended for indoor use only.
• Always protect the furniture from sharp, heavy and hot objects, as well as any form of moisture. All types of liquids such as water, coffee, wine and cleaning agents must be wiped off immediately.
• Peel from citrus fruits and acidic liquids such as fruit juice, carbonated drinks, vinegar or spirit vinegar can damage the surface and cause permanent marks.
• Do not expose the surface to thermal shock.
• Use coasters to protect the surface.
• Be careful when using coloured candles on the furniture.
• Do not use limescale removers (e.g. toilet cleaners) or acidic cleaning agents (e.g. tile cleaner or kitchen cleaner) to clean the surface, as they may cause corrosive damage.
