Natural stone tabletops
All Eilersen tabletops are made from natural stone that has been pre-treated twice with Tenax Hydrex stone sealer. At Eilersen we have chosen to keep the natural stone as close as possible to its natural look, therefore there will be small pits and veining in the plate. This is a natural part of the stone and is what makes each plate unique.
The Tenax Hydrex treatment makes the plate more resistant to stains, but the plate still requires you to take good care. We always recommend using a drink coaster. For daily cleaning use a damp soft cloth soaked in hot warm water with liquid detergent.
We recommend that the plate be retreated once or twice per year depending on usage.
A stone sealer can be purchased through Guardian.
Instructions for G-Polish treatment:
Clean the plate with a clean wrong cloth and lukewarm water. Let the plate dry completely before continuing.
Shake the bottle well before spreading the G-Polish evenly out in a thin layer on the entire surface using a clean dry sponge or lint-free cloth.
Let the surface dry for approximately 15 min. Afterward, the entire surface must be polished using a clean dry lint-free cloth.
Afterward, repeat steps 2 and 3 to ensure the plate is saturated.
WARNING.
A stone sealer does not provide anti-etch protection. The use of acidic substances e.g. wine, citrus, coffee, etc. will etch the surface permanently.
