Natural stone is a durable and timeless material, but proper care ensures it maintains its beauty for years to come. We recommend using pH-neutral cleaners and avoiding abrasive tools or chemicals. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is often enough. A detailed care and maintenance guide will be provided with your order.

Caring for Your Natural Stone: How to Preserve the Beauty of Your Avery Stone Pieces

At Avery Stone, we celebrate the timeless elegance and enduring strength of natural materials like Travertine and Marble. Formed by nature over millions of years, these stones are remarkably resilient — yet, like all beautiful things, they deserve a little care and attention to preserve their radiance for generations to come.

Here’s how you can care for your natural stone products and keep them looking stunning year after year.

Simple, Gentle Cleaning

One of the many joys of natural stone is how easy it is to maintain when cared for properly. For day-to-day cleaning, we recommend a simple approach:

• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down surfaces regularly.
• If needed, use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone. Avoid harsh household cleaners, as many contain acids or alkaline substances that can damage the stone’s surface over time.
• Always dry the surface after cleaning to prevent water spots, especially on polished finishes.

By keeping your cleaning routine simple and gentle, you help protect the stone’s natural patina and finish.

Avoid Abrasive Tools and Harsh Chemicals

Natural stone is durable, but it can be sensitive to abrasive tools and aggressive chemical cleaners. To protect your pieces:

• Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or rough sponges, as they can scratch the surface.
• Avoid acidic or bleach-based cleaners, vinegar, lemon, or ammonia, all of which can etch and dull the stone.
• Use coasters, placemats, and trivets where necessary, especially for surfaces that come into frequent contact with food, drinks, or heavy objects.

Small preventive habits can make a significant difference in preserving the natural stone’s pristine condition.

Sealing and Long-Term Protection

Depending on the type of stone and the intended use, some natural stone pieces may benefit from periodic sealing. Sealing helps protect the surface against stains and moisture absorption while enhancing the stone’s natural beauty.

At Avery Stone, we carefully select and prepare each material to ensure longevity. Upon delivery, we will provide a detailed care and maintenance guide tailored to your specific piece — including any recommendations for sealing, cleaning products, and special care instructions.

Embracing the Beauty of Natural Aging

Natural stone evolves gracefully over time, developing subtle changes in color, texture, and character. These changes are not flaws — they are part of the living beauty of the material. Every scratch, every patina, and every mark tells a story of use, love, and life.

At Avery Stone, we believe that allowing your stone pieces to age naturally only adds to their soul and authenticity. With gentle care and mindful use, they will grow even more beautiful with the passing years.
