One of many great things about natural stone mantel is that it requires very little maintenance.  All the mantel we sold is sealed with high-grade penetrating stone sealer to prevent staining. 

To keep your stone mantel looking its best, year after year, here are a few important DOs and DON’Ts

DON’Ts

u   We recommend dust the mantel shelf, header, legs and 

     hearth area frequently.

u You should not use soap on stone. It leaves a film which dulls the surface and promotes

    mildew

u You should not use an acid or ammonia-based cleaner, because it could affect the color of

    the natural stone. Acid-based cleaners will cause natural stone finish to dull. You should not

   use vinegar and water - because vinegar is an acid.

u   If you use a cleaner, make sure it's neutral - non-acidic

    and non-alkaline, this is not necessary if you dust the

    mantel frequently.

 

   

u   In case of liquid spills, blot away the excess with clean dry

    white cloth while turning the cloth frequently.  Spray the

    area with a neutral stone cleaner and wipe off with a clean

    cloth.

How to Maintain Your Natural Stone Fireplaces

u You should not use steel wool pads or any abrasive on stone. These materials can scratch or

    dull the surface. Any loose particles of steel left on the grout will cause rust stains.

Maintain you stone mantel is very simple, just dust your mantel frequently.
