Product Care Guide

• Use coasters and placemats under cups, glasses and dishware.
• Wipe up spills as soon as they happen, rather than leaving liquid to sit on the surface.
• Place protective felt pads beneath vases, bowls and other decorative objects.
• Lift objects rather than dragging them across the stone.
• Take care around edges and corners, which can chip on impact.
• Keep stone surfaces away from direct heat sources and sudden changes in temperature.

• Clean with a soft microfibre cloth.
• Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner suited to your piece's specific stone type and finish.
• Dry the surface after cleaning to avoid water marks.
• Avoid vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, abrasive powders and other acidic cleaning products, which can etch natural stone.
• Do not use ordinary bathroom or kitchen descaling products on stone surfaces.

Sealing requirements vary by stone type, finish, and whether your piece was sealed prior to delivery. We don't assume every Maison Blanc stone piece is sealed, or that sealing is unnecessary — please check your product's specifications or ask our team if you're unsure.

A sealer can help reduce how much liquid the stone absorbs, but it does not make any stone completely stain-proof or etch-proof. We recommend seeking professional guidance before resealing a piece yourself.

A note on travertine: travertine is a naturally porous stone, formed with small surface pores and occasional filled voids. This porosity is part of its natural character and something to be mindful of with spills, particularly oil or acidic liquids.

• Natural veining and tonal variation are part of every stone piece, and no two slabs will look identical.
• Mineral deposits and small pores can occur naturally within the stone.
• Natural fissures and filled voids are a normal characteristic of many stones, not a flaw.
• These natural characteristics are different from physical damage such as chips, cracks or impact marks, which are not considered normal variation.
• Because each slab is unique, the piece you receive may differ slightly from photographs online — see our note on product images below.

• Vacuum fabric surfaces regularly using a soft upholstery attachment.
• Plump and rotate cushions regularly to encourage even wear.
• Lift sofas and chairs when moving them, rather than dragging, and avoid concentrated pressure on arms and edges.
• Limit prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources, which can affect fabric colour over time.

Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth rather than rubbing them into the fabric. Use only cleaning products and methods suited to your piece's specific upholstery, and spot test in an inconspicuous area first. For larger or stubborn marks, a professional upholstery cleaner is recommended.

Keep sofas and lounge chairs out of direct, prolonged sunlight where possible, as UV exposure can gradually affect fabric tone. Positioning furniture away from heaters and other direct heat sources will also help preserve its appearance.

Gradual changes in foam density and upholstery appearance, including minor fading or pilling, can occur through normal everyday use and are not necessarily a fault. Not all cushions are removable, washable or reversible — please check your specific product listing rather than assuming this applies to every piece.

• Dust and wipe metal surfaces with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth.
• Dry metal surfaces promptly after any contact with moisture.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemical products on metal surfaces, as these can damage coated or plated finishes. A soft cloth with a small amount of mild, non-abrasive cleaner is usually sufficient.

Take care to avoid scratching coated or finished metal surfaces with sharp or abrasive objects, and avoid letting water pool around joints, fixings or connection points for extended periods.

We recommend periodically checking accessible fasteners and connections for stability. Not all metal components across our range are stainless steel or inherently corrosion-proof, so please refer to your specific product's details and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Always disconnect power at the switch before cleaning any light fitting, where applicable.

Use a soft dry cloth for routine dusting. Avoid using liquid cleaners near electrical components, sockets or wiring.

Keep moisture away from electrical components at all times, and avoid cleaning methods that introduce water or liquid cleaner near the fitting's wiring or connections.

Always follow the manufacturer's specifications for compatible lamps and globes. Installation, rewiring or any electrical work should only be carried out by a qualified, licensed electrician.
