How to Care for Your Stone Veneer

Cleaning – Dirt may be removed by using a strong solution of granulated soap or detergent and water with a bristle brush. Do not use a wire brush, as it will damage the surface. Rinse immediately with fresh water. Do not attempt to clean using acid or acid containing products. Do not clean with high pressure power washers.

Salt and De-icing Materials – Because all concrete and masonry is vulnerable to damage by salt, do not use de-icing chemicals on areas immediately adjacent to your stone veneer application.

Scuffing – Scuffing occurs on all natural stone. Occasionally some scuffing will occur on the surface of stone veneer. This can enhance the natural appearance. Some scuffing can be removed by cleaning as instructed above.
