Care & Maintenance

Each basin is carved from solid natural material and should be treated with considered care. Clean using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid acidic or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may etch or dull the surface over time.

Natural stone, marble and petrified wood are porous materials and may develop subtle changes in tone with use — this is part of their character.

 

 

To preserve the finish, wipe dry after use and avoid leaving standing water for prolonged periods.

Periodic sealing is recommended to maintain resistance to staining and moisture. Always use a sealant appropriate for natural stone.

With proper care, each piece will age beautifully, developing depth and patina unique to its use.

 

 

Stone is not fragile. It has survived millions of years without your help. But a little consideration will keep it looking exactly as it should.

Daily Care

Wipe down with a soft cloth after use. A mild, non-abrasive soap is all you need. Avoid acidic or chemical cleaners — they will dull the surface over time.

Drying

Wipe dry after use and avoid leaving standing water for prolonged periods. This is the single most important habit.

Sealing

Seal your basin every 6 to 12 months with a sealant appropriate for natural stone. This maintains its resistance to moisture and staining and takes about ten minutes.

Rough Hewn Exteriors

Our rough hewn basins retain the natural broken surface of the stone. This exterior requires no special treatment — it is deliberately unfinished and will remain
so. Focus your care on the polished interior surface only.

Avoid abrasive cleaning tools on the exterior as these can dislodge surface particles. A soft brush or damp cloth is all that’s needed.

Ageing

Natural stone changes with use. Tone deepens. Surfaces develop patina. This is not wear — it is the stone becoming more itself over time. Embrace it.

Stone is one of the most durable materials on earth. With reasonable care, your basin will outlast everything else in the room.
