Care & Maintenance

Each basin is carved from solid natural material and asks for the same considered care you’d give anything you use daily. Clean with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid bleach, vinegar, and other acidic or abrasive products — they can 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, not a flaw.

 

 

To preserve the finish, wipe dry after use and avoid leaving standing water for prolonged periods. If something’s likely to stain — coffee, wine, hair dye — wipe it up as soon as you can.

Resealing isn’t necessary. If your basin has seen years of heavy daily use — five or more — and you feel it could use a refresh, a natural stone sealant can restore that just-finished look. Most homes will never need it.

With proper, considered care, each piece holds its finish and its character for years.

 

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

Resealing isn’t necessary. If you’d like to refresh the surface after years of heavy daily use — five or more — a natural stone sealant can restore that just-finished look. Most homes will never need it.

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.
