Important Notes:

  • Cleaning of Manufactured (Man-Made) Stone:

    • "Do not sandblast, pressure wash, or use wire brushes or acidic compounds
      to clean the manufactured stone." - DQS

    • "Like any other cement product, under certain weather temperatures
      and conditions, stone may have signs of efflorescence." - DQS

    • "All stone setting materials should be clean of salts or chemicals that
      may cause efflorescence." - DQS

    • "To remove mortar and light scuffing, clean immediately with a little
      water and a soft nylon brush.  It is very hard to remove so it is very
      important to clean the day of installation." - DQS
