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.
