Marble furniture

Marble is a natural product, so it needs to be treated with care. Your Ethnicraft marble furniture is finished with an oil protection. This is a transparent layer that does not affect the look of the polished marble.

However, it is important to know that direct contact with abrasive/high acidity products, even natural (such as lemons, wine, etc.) should be avoided. We strongly recommend the use of coasters to prevent cold glasses and bottles from leaving marks on the furniture. Due to the porous nature of marble, remove spills immediately as this could cause permanent stains.

Regular care

For regular dusting, use a dry cloth. For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp cloth and natural soap. Do not use soap containing detergent or other chemicals. Dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent spotting.

Thorough care

In the case of any unexpected dried spills or marks, we recommend using a high quality cleaner specified for natural stone surfaces. For stubborn stains and traces, we recommend lightly rubbing with fine steel wool in a circular motion.

Metal structure

Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth.

For a more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Do not use steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acid, bleach, or chlorine cleaners on metal surfaces.

Do not drag the furniture along the floor, as it might damage the protective coating, cause rusting or leave permanent marks on the floor.

Always lift the furniture when moving it from place to place.

General care & maintenance tips

  1. Recommended humidity in the room: between 40% and 60%.
  2. To prevent colour differences, do not place furniture or accessories in direct sunlight, and move objects placed on the furniture from time to time. Open your extendable table the first three weeks after installing and afterwards on a regular basis.
  3. Avoid exposure to extreme conditions: Do not place furniture or accessories near heating sources or air-conditioned spaces.
  4. To prevent staining, remove any spills immediately.
  5. When cleaning the surface, always work in the direction of the wood grain.
  6. Use place mats and/or coasters to prevent hot pots and pans, or cold glasses and bottles, from leaving marks on the furniture.
  7. Do not drag the furniture along the floor; always lift the furniture when moving.
  8. Always ensure water solutions used to clean the floor do not come into contact with the furniture’s base, as it may leave permanent marks. For items that feature rubber glides, avoid using alcohol-based cleaners on floors they are in direct contact with. 
  9. Indoor products are not intended for outdoor use. An outdoor product will always indicate so in its name.
  10. Last but not least, we always recommend carefully reading the care instructions specific to your item.
