Our care and high standards culminate in the durable beauty of Cameo Marble.
You can protect the splendor of your Cameo Marble products and ensure a
long life of trouble-free services by following these suggestions:
Cleaning:
Remove any tape residue
left from labels by using past wax and “elbow grease”.
Preserve the luster by occasionally
cleaning and waxing. Be sure to use only liquid or foam, non-abrasive cleaners.
After cleaning apply a light coat of non-yellowing wax and polish the marble.
Remove hard water scale and rust stains with a mild vinegar and water solution
followed by a polishing compound. Certain chemical substances can seriously
mar your marble, even during only brief periods of contact. Protect your
Cameo Marble from these harmful reagents:
Clorox and other hypochlorite
bleaches
Hydrogen peroxide in any
concentration
Drano or other lye solutions
Sani-flush or other sodium
bisulfate compounds
Fingernail polish remover
Paint Strippers containing
methylene chloride
Comet, Ajax or other abrasive
cleaners
Cultured marble shares the
contraction and expansion characteristics of natural marble. Attention
to temperature change is particularly important during winter months when
the temperature difference of hot water in your heater and the cold water
lines feeding you house is the greatest. Avoid running hot water exclusively
into your vanity bowl. Rapid changes in water temperature can cause your
top to crack. Your top should last a lifetime if you turn the temperature
in your water heater to the low or mid range.
Stain Removal:
Many difficult stains can
be avoided by attention to the proper care of your Cameo Marble product.
These steps would be followed to solve unusual cleaning problems:
Grease stains and oil residues
can be removed by kerosene, mineral spirits or butyl-cellulose available
from paint outlets.
Mold and mildew can be removed
with a diluted solution of Clorox or with Lysol. Never let pure Chlorox
come into contact with your Cameo Marble.
Hair dye or shoe polish stains
can be removed by using polishing compound.
Cigarette stains can be removed
by sanding Bon Ami applied with a toothbrush. After removing the stain,
polish out the area with toothpaste.
Repair of Scratches:
Minor surface scratches
can be buffed out using polishing compound. Deeper scratches or burns require
light sanding using wet, 600-grit sandpaper. Sand lightly with a circular
motion in as confined an area as possible. Wet the area amply while sanding.
Remove the minor scratches that result from sanding by buffing with a polishing
compound.
Small chips can be repaired
by first applying clear fingernail polish and then following the instructions
for sanding out scratches.
