Cultured Marble Cleaning & Care Instructions
The beauty of your cultured marble can easily be maintained
if you follow these instructions:
- Before use, give your marble a coat of automotive paste wax,
using a clean applicator and buffing cloth. Later, if the luster
seems to be fading, it is time for another coat. Products specifically
designed for cultured marble are now available. One such item,
Gel-Gloss, can be purchased at local hardware or home improvement
stores.
- Waxing increases the luster, making cleaning easier and also
making the surface more resistant to everyday scratches. Our service
department should repair deeper scratches, chips and nicks. Please
contact us in this case.
- Never use abrasive cleaners (i.e., Comet, Ajax, Soft Scrub,
etc.) to clean your marble. The use of abrasives may cause scratching,
discoloration, and dullness to the surface. Do not clean the surface
with nail polish remover or any other chemical containing acetone.
- Use a non-abrasive cleaner such as Windex, Glass Plus, foaming
cleansers, or even a wet wash cloth with soap on it, to remove
any soap build-up, toothpaste, etc.
- On products with matte finishes, mild abrasives can be used
occasionally to mask any minor wear and tear. Avoid using polishes
on these surfaces.
- Shower floors can be cleaned with any non abrasive cleaners:
spray and leave on for a few minutes, then scrub with a soft-bristled
brush to remove soap residue.
- Hard water and mineral deposits caused by water supply in some
areas may be removed using cleaners sold for removing iron, calcium,
and other mineral deposits. Follow the label instructions. Do
not leave these products in contact with the cultured marble product
for an extended or prolonged period of time.
- Regulate the temperature of your hot water. Set the hot water
heater at less than 150 degrees. You should always mix hot and
cold water into your sink bowls, bath tubs, and shower pans. This
will help avoid crazing/cracking due to hot and cold water thermal
shock.
