ONYX

 

Protect the natural translucency and character of the stone.

 

Clean regularly with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic, abrasive or harsh chemical products, which can damage the surface or affect its finish.

 

Wipe spills promptly, particularly oils, wine, coffee and acidic substances. Avoid abrasive pads and aggressive scrubbing.

 

Where appropriate, sealing can provide additional protection, but the correct treatment depends on the specific onyx and its finish.

 

Care: Gentle cleaning • Prompt spill removal • Appropriate sealing • No acidic cleaners

 

​

 

MARBLE

 

Preserve the depth, movement and natural finish of the stone.

 

Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge for everyday cleaning. Marble is sensitive to acidic substances, so lemon, vinegar and acidic cleaning products should be avoided.

 

Spills should be removed promptly to reduce the risk of staining or etching.

 

Sealing may be recommended depending on the marble, finish and application.

 

Care: pH-neutral cleaning • Prompt spill removal • Periodic sealing where appropriate • Avoid acids

​

 

GRANITE

 

Maintain durability while protecting the natural surface.

 

Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and unnecessary exposure to harsh chemicals.

 

Although granite is generally durable, individual stones vary in porosity and composition. Appropriate sealing should therefore be determined according to the specific material and application.

 

Care: Regular gentle cleaning • Prompt spill removal • Appropriate sealing • Avoid abrasive products

​

 

QUARTZ

 

Maintain a refined surface with simple, consistent care.

 

For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soap or a suitable manufacturer-approved cleaner.

 

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents, highly alkaline or acidic products and excessive heat. Always follow the care recommendations supplied for the specific quartz product.

 

Care: Mild cleaning • Soft cloths • Avoid abrasive products • Follow manufacturer guidance

 

​

 

TRAVERTINE

 

Preserve its natural texture and distinctive character.

 

Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid acidic products such as vinegar, lemon-based cleaners and bathroom descalers.

 

Because travertine is naturally porous, appropriate sealing can be important depending on the finish and application. Spills should be removed promptly, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.

 

Care: pH-neutral cleaning • Prompt spill removal • Appropriate sealing • Avoid acids

A NOTE ON NATURAL STONE

 

Natural stone is a living material with individual characteristics. Porosity, finish, mineral composition and intended use can all influence its care requirements.

 

For specific projects, Onyx House recommends following the care and maintenance instructions provided for the selected material and consulting the appropriate stone-care professional where required.

 

Beautiful stone deserves considered care.
