Natural stone picks up fingerprints, turns matte where your hand rests, and looks its best when someone looks after it. That sounds like effort, but it isn’t. All that matters is using the right thing for the right surface.
The basic rule
Stone and plastic need opposite things, and so do polished and textured stone. There is no one product for everything.
1 · Cleaning – for every stone
Our Stone Cleaner removes fingerprints, dust and skin oil from marble, granite, quartzite, slate and gemstone. It is alcohol-based, dries in seconds and leaves no film.
- Two drops on a clean, lint-free cloth
- Wipe the stone evenly
- Finish with a dry microfibre cloth
2 · Polishing – only for polished stone
Polished stone loses its shine not through damage but through use. The carnauba-wax-based Marble Liquid Polish evens out the surface and leaves a thin protective layer.
Not for slate. Its open surface absorbs the wax instead of holding it, and it dries blotchy. Slate you only clean.
A polish softens fine marks but does not repair scratches. Deeper scratches in natural stone cannot be polished out at home.
3 · The frame
The plastic frame attracts dust and over time develops a shine it was never meant to have. Case Care Matt Effect cleans it, has an antistatic effect and preserves the matte finish. Keep it away from the stone.
What you should avoid
- Acid: lemon juice, vinegar and wine can dull marble and limestone. Wipe off splashes straight away.
- Household cleaners: most kitchen sprays are harsher than stone needs. If you use something else, test it on an inconspicuous spot first.
How often?
Clean whenever the case shows marks. Polish and frame care every few weeks or when the surface looks matte. There is no fixed schedule – stone is forgiving.
All steps in detail: fitting and care. Whether your stone is polished or split is stated on its page under Stones.
