Additional Features

• Metal: Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth. If necessary, wipe clean with a damp soft cloth and a mild non-abrasive dish detergent. Do not place hot cups, pots, or serving dishes directly onto the surface. Do not expose your furniture to any liquids and never allow water to sit on your table. Alcohol, nail polish, and perfume are also dangerous because they can dissolve the furniture finish on contact and may require professional repairs.
• Concrete: Clean your product using mild soap (such as dish soap) and water. Do not use heavy abrasive, bleach-based, or ammoniated cleaners. The use of such cleaners will wear down the wax protection and result in less stain resistance. We do not recommend the use of most natural cleansers (which are often citrus-based). We recommend using a mild, non-abrasive, non-ammoniated soap for daily cleaning. Stone soap may also be used for ongoing maintenance and conditioning. Re-wax periodically within 2 months of installation of your product and every 3 to 6 months thereafter, depending on use and location. If the product is placed outside, wax it well before winter. Cover and raise off the ground during cold seasons. We recommended any commercially available natural beeswax or carnauba wax that is food safe and non-toxic. Regular food preparation will not stain the concrete as the acrylic sealer serves as an active barrier. Spills should be wiped up as soon as possible. While the waxing performs well against stains from oils and acidic materials, prolonged exposure may cause penetration of the sealer and possible discoloration. Expect occasional rings to appear from unknown liquids. Oils, in particular, can penetrate the surface if forced in from the weight of a glass or jar. Wiping up oil spills can minimize staining. Please note that bath oils, in particular, should not be used as they will cause staining from being left in contact with the surface of the concrete for too long. Using felt or rubber foot pads are recommended for the bottom surfaces of all objects left to remain on the surface of your product indefinitely. Do not place hot objects on the surface as they may cause discoloration. Using a trivet is recommended. At any point, refrain from putting blue painter's tape or other adhesives directly on the product. Concrete pieces that are suitable for outdoor use should only be placed in covered areas. To increase the longevity of outdoor pieces, it is recommended that they are covered and sealed during extreme weather, and brought indoors during cold seasons to avoid damage and deterioration.
