Care, Cleaning & Maintenance Guidelines

To preserve the vibrant terrazzo finish and the integrity of the concrete, follow these simple, factual care instructions:

• Routine Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use.

• Water Exposure: Do not submerge the item in water, and never place it in the dishwasher. Prolonged soaking will damage the cork base.

• Storage: Because it acts as a decorative accent, you can leave it displayed on your counter. If storing, place it flat in a cabinet to prevent accidental drops.
