There are a few basic rules for getting the most out of your natural stone furniture and ensuring its longevity:
Be careful of wet rings forming on the surface after watering flowers or plants.
Place coasters or trivets under glasses and dishes to prevent the formation of ring marks.
Never expose marble or travertine furniture to sharp objects which can scratch the limestone.
Never use vinegar, ammonia, bleach, lemon or orange to clean travertine, as acids can cause these limestones to corrode.
