NATURAL STONE CARE

Natural stones like granite, marble, and quartzite are durable and long-lasting but require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Follow these care guidelines to protect and preserve your investment:


  1. Sealing - Natural stone surfaces, particularly those used in kitchens and bathrooms, should be sealed regularly to protect them from stains and moisture absorption. We recommend sealing your stone surfaces at least once a year, depending on the type of stone and the level of use. Our team can provide advice on the best sealing products for your specific stone type.
  2. Cleaning - Use a pH-balanced, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, and vinegar, as these can etch or dull the surface. For daily cleaning, a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a stone-safe cleaner is sufficient.
  3. Stain Prevention - While natural stone is durable, it can be porous. To prevent stains, wipe up spills immediately, especially those from acidic substances like wine, coffee, citrus, and oil. Use coasters under glasses and trivets under hot dishes to avoid potential damage.
  4. Avoid Scratches - Although many natural stones like granite are incredibly tough, they are not completely scratch-proof. Avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects directly across the surface, and use cutting boards when preparing food.

Engineered Stone

We can provide all the stone services you need. We will accurately measure the area, create the necessary templates, help your select the stone types and styles and design, fabricate and install the stone fireplaces, countertops, shower stalls, tubs and more you want. We provide all the manmade and natural stone from our huge inventory. This simplifies and expedites the process. We take pride in using precision workmanship to custom build and install high caliber, beautiful, luxury stone amenities for your home.

ENGINEERED STONE (QUARTZ) CARE

Engineered quartz surfaces, which we offer at Artisan Stone, are non-porous, making them resistant to stains and easier to maintain. However, they still require proper care to maintain their appearance.


  1. Regular Cleaning - For everyday cleaning, simply use a mild detergent or a quartz-specific cleaner with warm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Steer clear of highly abrasive scrubbing pads or powders, as these can dull the surface.
  2. Heat Protection - While engineered quartz is heat-resistant, sudden or extreme changes in temperature can cause damage. Always use trivets or heat pads under hot pans, pots, or appliances to avoid thermal shock that could crack or discolor the surface.
  3. Stain Prevention - Quartz is non-porous, which makes it more resistant to staining than natural stone. However, substances like permanent markers, nail polish, and strong dyes can still cause damage. Clean spills promptly, and if a stain does occur, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a specialized quartz stain remover.

Additional Tips for All Stone Surfaces

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Steer clear of harsh chemicals, such as bleach, ammonia, and acidic cleaners. These can strip away sealants and damage the surface of both natural and engineered stone.

Use Soft Cleaning Tools

When wiping down your surfaces, always use a soft cloth, sponge, or a non-abrasive scrub pad to prevent scratches or dulling of the finish.

Protect Against Impact

Stone surfaces are highly durable but can chip or crack under heavy impact. Take care when moving heavy objects, and consider using mats or protective padding in high-traffic areas, such as kitchen countertops.

Long-Term Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your stone surfaces, it’s essential to stay on top of routine care and address any issues, such as stains or chips, as soon as they arise.
