Additionally, strongly coloring foods such as saffron or curry may cause stains that cannot be removed.NATURAL STONEThe natural stones are untreated natural products; therefore, significant variations in color and structure may occur. Dimen-sions are approximate and may vary slight-ly from item to item.Natural stone has a porous surface and is therefore difficult to clean, especially from stains (particularly grease).Foods with high acid or fat content (especi-ally fruit acids/citric acid) may damage the surface if left for too long.To clean the stones, use a damp cloth and pH-neutral cleaning agents. To enhance the surface appearance, natural stone can occasionally be treated with edible oil (e.g., linseed oil).
