Sealing your stone
Ask the stone supplier whether the exact surface needs sealing, which product is compatible, and how to assess when it needs renewal. Existing treatments, finish and use affect the answer; a generic calendar or water test is not a complete assessment.
Daily cleaning
Follow the supplier's cleaning instructions and wipe spills promptly. Avoid acids such as vinegar and lemon, abrasive pads, bleach and other harsh chemicals unless explicitly approved for the exact surface. Never mix cleaning chemicals.
Maintenance by stone type

| Marble | Supplier-specific | Unapproved acids, chemicals and abrasives |
| Granite | Supplier-specific | Unapproved harsh chemicals |
| Travertine | Supplier-specific | Unapproved acids and chemicals |
| Existing manufactured surface | Manufacturer-specific | Unapproved heat, chemicals and abrasives |
