MAINTAINING YOUR FURNITURE   Our fiber reinforced concrete is a porous material (much like natural wood or stone) comprised completely of natural elements including Portland cement, jute fibers, and water. Each piece comes sealed with a paraffin-based wax sealer and requires regular waxing for continued protection against staining. We recommend applying stone floor wax with paraffin base within 2 months of installation (Caution: do not place objects on your piece within 12 hours of applying wax). If pieces are used outdoors, wax generously beforehand, then cover and keep raised off the ground when not in use. Do not let pieces sit in water. Prior to exposing to freezing temperatures, make sure pieces are dry and covered. We recommend re-waxing every 3 months and re-sealing every 2 years.  

SPOT CLEANING  Spills, especially oils, should be wiped up as soon as possible with mild soap (dish soap) and water to minimize staining. Do not use abrasives, bleach-based, ammonia-based, citrus-based, or natural cleaners, which can wear down wax protection. If wax coating is scratched or damaged, apply a new coat of wax.

KEEP IN MIND  While sealant will perform well against most stains, prolonged exposure to oils and acidic materials may result in penetration and possible discoloration. To avoid discoloration, do not place hot objects directly on the surface. Use trivets, coasters, felt pads, or rubber pads if placing objects onto the surface. Do not use blue painter’s tape or other adhesives on your piece.
