Stone Care

Scratches — Stains — Conditioning

Simple care and maintenance will preserve your stone’s beauty for generations. Due to its natural properties, most NSX limestone applications require little to no maintenance. For some, like countertops, the stone should be properly sealed when installed, requiring only mild soap and water for everyday cleaning.

NSX limestone is naturally very dense and resistant to scratching. You should not have any trouble with scratching under normal wear and use. Like most other natural stone, while Phenix is scratch-resistant it is not completely scratch-proof and might be damaged if abused.

Thanks to its high density and extremely low absorption rate, the marble naturally repels stains. Although NSX marble is stain-resistant, we do recommend an impregnating sealer. The impregnator acts as a secondary layer of protection meaning your NSX countertops are safe from stains and will be gorgeous for years.

While it is not strictly necessary, many customers like to condition their natural stone countertops. We recommend using a food-grade mineral oil such as butcher block oil. This can be used for spot treatments and all-over care.
