Terrazzo is a composite material that consists of chips of marble, granite, quartz and other types of stones. It is compressed together in a mold to form a large sheet/slab, that can be processed into different sizes. The tops can vary in finishing, ranging from honed to polished depending on requirements.
ROUTINE CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Use a microfiber cloth to dust off the surfaces.
- Wash with mild, pH-neutral soap such as Dawn® and clean water using a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
- Use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners is not recommended. They can scratch, pit, and etch the surface of the stone.
- Spills have the potential to stain. Porous stones are more susceptible to soaking up spills, which can discolor their surfaces. Clean spills immediately by wiping with a soft damp cloth.
EXTENSIVE CARE & MAINTENANCE
- We also recommend regularly cleaning with a stone cleaner formulated with a neutral pH, such as Oxy-Klenza Stone Cleaner (JeC Item #799-40-101-01-00). Please follow manufacturer’s instructions.
- For stubborn stains on stone, a poultice of ammonia will remove most organic stains from marble. Dampen a paper towel or cloth with ammonia mixed with water, and cover the stain for 24-48 hours to remove. Household baking soda can absorb organic stains as well. Sprinkle the stained area with the baking soda and let it sit for 24-48 hours. Wipe clean and reseal (please refer to instructions below).
- Stone tops will need to be resealed based on use and environment. Before applying a new coat of INTENSIFIATM sealer (JeC Item #799-40-100-01-00), please make sure your stone top is clean. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Depending on usage and location, this may need to be done multiple times a year. Please see your sales specialist for details.
