The important thing is this: Make sure you know the proper care and cleaning routine.

1 Keep surfaces clean.

Dust or wipe dingy, dirty surfaces with a damp cloth.

2 Don't let spills or food sit on these stone surfaces.

Clean up spills as they happen.

3 If the inevitable happens (food sits and dries).

Tackle the spots by sprinkling a bit of borax or baking powder on them. Rub gently with a damp sponge or cloth. Loosen the food and remove. Wipe clean with a damp, clean cloth.

4 Warm water only should be used on a floor.

Vinegar, often added as a cleaning agent, is acidic and will make your floor worse. Skip it.

5 Always polish-dry your floors and your countertops.

This stone spots quite easily, and requires high maintenance to retain its luster. Give it its due.
