| Water is the best cleanser
for our Italian marble ornaments - flowing, clean
water.
Our outdoor marble ornaments have
specially honed finishes. That honing, combined
with the high density of Carrara white marble, helps
to resist surface dirt.
Outdoor ornaments are easily washed
down with a hose. A scrub brush can also be used
with the water. Bird droppings of all colors will
not permanently stain our Carrara marble. The droppings
can either be scrubbed away, or left to the next
rain or snow.
A few drops of mild liquid dish soap
(Ivory or Dove) in a pail of warm water can be used
to scrub off tougher spots with a brush, or for
occasional all-over cleaning. Afterwards, hose down
the ornament.
In winter, our ornaments require no
covering from snow or ice. Fountain drains and pump
lines must be opened and electrical lines disconnected
before the first freezing weather.
Indoors, our marble ornaments, (with
either polished or honed finishes), should be dusted
with a soft cloth, and, as necessary, wiped with
a clean, damp sponge. Rinse and wring out the sponge
frequently.
We do not recommend the use of chemical
treatments, or cleaners on Italian marble. Its natural
beauty and our craftsmanship do not require make-up.
For extraordinary cleaning problems,
we can either advise you directly or refer you to
a specialist in your area.
Specialty coatings for commercial
and public sites are available.
Detailed maintenance information
for service personnel/owner is provided with each
project.
