Will stone stain, mark or chip?
As strong and durable as our stonework is, like anything, stone benchtops, vanities and furniture can chip, stain or mark. However, if you take the proper care, and ensure wine spills, hot liquids, oils etc. are cleaned and removed quickly, your stone should look good and stand strong for many years.
How do I clean my stone?
The best method is to use warm water and gently wipe down any spills immediately. If necessary, you can usually use neutral detergents which will help break down touch stains or spills.
However, make sure you do not use scourers or any type of abrasive cloth, this will scratch your stone and ruin its appearance.
Is there a difference between granite and marble stone?
Definitely. Aside from the appearance, granite and marble have a number of differences.
Granite is a tougher, more durable stone, making it the perfect choice for high traffic areas like the kitchen. Marble is a softer, more brittle stone, making it ideal for low traffic areas where it’s less likely to be damaged.
I’m after something a bit different. Can you help?
