Because one property of slate is the low water absorption, it is naturally resistant to stains and will not fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight. Keeping slate looking beautiful is easy!
Since this top is sealed, it requires only regular wiping with water or occassionally with mild soapy water. Do not use vinegar, cleaners that contain acid, abrasive cleaners, or furniture polish. If a stain does occur, it can be easily removed with fine (0) steel wool or fine (120/240 grit) sand paper. The affected surface then needs to be treated with a stone sealer for further protection.
Additionally, a reapplication yearly of a stone sealer is suggested. Stone sealer is available in any hardware or building supply store. For best long-term maintenance, store the top in a dry location during the off season and do not rest it on its side.

MARBLE TOPS: Marble is a beautiful, yet functional material that Mother Nature provides to us and can be used outside. No two pieces of marble are exactly alike. Each piece has its own unique character, featuring varying differences in the veining of marble. The veining in marble can sometimes appear to be slight cracks deep within the marble. These veins can and will allow dirt or bacteria to build up which will cause the surface to appear that it is cracking or discolored. This is not a defect of the marble top; therefore warranty claims will not be approved.
With proper care and maintenance, these tops will hold up under normal use in residential applications. These tops require proper care in maintaining a beautiful and long-lasting appearance. A regular maintenance schedule will prolong the natural beauty and appearance of the marble. There are a variety of products available to CLEAN, protect, and seal marble, through your local marble or stone retailer. For products that can be purchased on line, we recommend Stone Care International (www.stonecare.com). Their phone number is 1-800-839-1654. For the best long term maintenance, when not in use please store in a dry location.
We recommend the following for routine care:
Blot up spills immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth and gentle soap regularly.
Keep covered when outdoors and not in use.
Avoid leaving heavy objects on the surface for a prolonged period of time.
Do not use vinegar, cleaners that contain acid, abrasive cleaners or furniture polish.
Clean thoroughly with a stone cleaner and reapply a stone sealer every 6 months.
