Care and cleaning instructions for Cultured Marble
Regular cleaning:
We recommend Gel-Gloss, a one step cleaning process, for our products. They are readily available at online retailers as well as building and plumbing supply stores.
Do not clean this product with any abrasive material or cleanser. (i.e., steel wool, Comet, Ajax, Soft Scrub, etc.). These abrasives will dull the lustrous finish.
You may choose to clean your marble with liquid cleaners such as Fantastic, Mr. Clean or Formula 409. After cleaning, wax your marble surface with a non-abrasive wax. This produces a shinier surface and makes future cleaning easier.
