Troubleshooting
Stones appear dull
Wipe gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Ensure no residue from previous cleaning agents remains.
Color variation is more extreme than expected
This is normal for natural stones. Embrace the unique variations as part of their natural beauty. If uniformity is critical, select stones carefully from the batch.
