Caring for Porous MaterialsUpdated 13 days ago

Porous materials such as plaster, ceramic, porcelain, and concrete require specific care to maintain their original appearance and structural integrity. It is important to avoid excessive use of water or cleaning agents, especially on untreated surfaces, to prevent staining or damage.


Plaster & Ceramic
For painted plaster surfaces, a slightly damp cloth may be used for gentle cleaning. Dust can be effectively removed with a soft, dry cloth or a fine-bristled brush.
For bare plaster or ceramic, avoid using liquids. To remove marks, we recommend using a "smoke sponge" or a similar vulcanized rubber cleaning tool. Apply with care, using light pressure to avoid surface damage.


Porcelain
Regular dusting should be performed as needed. For minor marks on unglazed or raw porcelain, a soft cloth used with mild soap or a non-abrasive cream cleanser is typically sufficient.


Concrete
Interior concrete fittings generally require minimal maintenance. When cleaning is necessary, use a diluted solution of mild detergent in warm water to remove surface deposits. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water stains.


By following these guidelines, you can help preserve the natural beauty and longevity of your porous material fittings. For further assistance or specific product inquiries, please contact our Customer Service team.
