Care & Maintenance Guide

To preserve the integrity and longevity of your Athiri Home pieces, we recommend the following care instructions based on material:

Alabaster

  • Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid water and cleaning solutions, as alabaster is a porous natural stone and can absorb moisture or stain easily.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.
  • Do not place in direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.

Travertine

  • Dust regularly with a microfiber or lint-free cloth.
  • Use a damp cloth only when necessary; dry immediately.
  • Do not use acidic cleaners (e.g., vinegar or citrus-based) as they may etch the surface.
  • Consider sealing travertine periodically depending on exposure to moisture.

Steel (Brushed, Matte, or Coated Finishes)

  • Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
  • Dry thoroughly after cleaning to avoid watermarks.
  • Avoid abrasive sponges and scouring pads.
  • For brushed finishes, wipe in the direction of the grain.

General Tips:

  • Always unplug electrical fixtures before cleaning.
  • Do not allow dust to accumulate around bulb sockets or internal wiring areas.
  • If unsure about a cleaning method, test it on a small hidden area first.
