Stone is made of natural
minerals that may react adversely to cleaning chemicals
and acids not intended for stone care use. Particular
varieties of natural stone consist mainly of calcium
carbonate and are extremely sensitive to acid
(limestone & marble). This is the
reason why fruit juices, wine and harsh chemicals must
be removed from the surface of the stone immediately.
