Maintenance

 

• Goods are stored in a clossed dry area.
• All pallets and crates are heated and have heating stamps on themselves. They are also fumigated after loading in the container.
• Stones are protected with xps-strafore and nylonbag on themselves.
• Pallets and crates are produced with first quality woods; nailed and fixed with eachother by noncorrosive strong nails and circled with steel on the edges.
• Tiles are fixed in the crates or on the pallets properly, carefully and safely; and closely pressed togather to prevent damages and brokenings.
• Positioning is planned and the goods are loaded and fixed in the container. They are stabled to prevent any damages on tiles. The lashing is done.
•  Loadings are made on time in a plan manner.

 

HOW CAN I BEST CARE FOR STONE SURFACES ?

 

Floor Surfaces :

Dust-mop interior floors frequently using a clean non-treated dry dust mop. Sand, dirt, and grit do the most damage to natural stone surfaces due to their abrasiveness. Mats or area rugs inside and outside an entrance will help to minimize the sand, dirt, and grit that will scratch the stone floor. Be sure that the underside of the mat or rug is a non-slip surface. Normally, it will take a person about eight steps on a floor surface to remove sand or dirt from the bottom of their shoes. Do not use vacuum cleaners that are worn. The metal or plastic attachements or the wheels may scratch the surface.

Other Surfaces :

Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap, or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Use a clean rag mop on floors and a soft cloth for other surfaces for best results. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids on marble or other calcareous stones. Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft cloth. Change the rinse water frequently. Do not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the stone.

Bath, Shower & Other Wet Areas :

Soap scum can be minimized by using a squeegee after each use. To remove soap scum, use a non-acidic soap scum remover or a solution of ammonia and water (about 1/2 cup ammonia to a gallon of water). Frequent or over-use of an ammonia solution may eventually dull the surface of the stone.

Vanity Top Surfaces :

Vanity tops may need to have a penetrating sealer applied. A good quality marble wax or non-yellowing automobile paste wax can be applied to minimize water spotting.

Food Preparation Areas :

The stone may need to have a penetrating sealer applied. If a sealer is applied, be suer that it is non-toxic and safe for use on food preparation surfaces.

Outdoor Pool, Patio, & Hot Tub Areas :

 Flush with clear water, and use mild bleach solution to remove algae or moss.

DO:

Dust-mop floors frequently

• Clean surfaces with mild detergent or stone soap
• Thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing
• Blot up spills immediately
• Protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or area rugs and countertop surfaces with coasters, trivets, or placemats

 

DON'T:

• Use vinegar, lemon juice, or other cleaners containing acids on marble, limestone travertine, or onyx surfaces
• Use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, or tub & tile cleaners
• Use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleaners or soft cleansers

 

NEVER:

• Mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas
• Mix chemicals together unless directions specifically instruct you to do so
