Blinde Square Coffee Table

Concrete is a natural material and therefore each and every model will be unique in appearance.

Cleaning:

• The solid surface surrounds of your EcoSmart Fire can be cleaned using mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth.
• Do not use heavy abrasives, bleach based products or ammoniated cleaners - use of such cleaners will wear down the sealer and result in scratches and decease stain resistance.
• We do not recommend use of most natural cleaners (which are often citrus based), as the cleaning agent is typically highly acidic and can damage natural materials.
• It is recommended to test a small, discreet area first to ensure the cleaning product will not mark or damage the surface.

Avoiding Stains:

• In the event that the coating is knowingly cut, scraped, or damaged, a new layer of polymer sealer should be applied.
• Spills should be wiped up as soon as possible.
• While the sealer performs well against stains from oils and acidic materials, prolonged exposure may cause a breakdown of the sealer and possible discoloration.
• Do not place hot objects on the surface as they may cause discoloration. Using a trivet is recommended.
• Refrain from applying blue painter’s tape or other adhesives directly to the product.
• Although not considered a defect, non-structural hairline cracks are possible and may result from shrinkage and the natural curing process. If hairline cracks do appear, immediately apply a sealer to prevent moisture from seeping into the cracks and causing discoloration. Reseal the surrounding surfaces periodically with a polymer sealer.

General Maintenance:

• Concrete is a porous material and while the surface is sealed at point of manufacture, the sealer may break down over time due to environmental factors like UV rays and general use.
• This unit has been sealed with a polymer car wax to seal and protect it. We recommend you reseal it every 6 months for maintenance.
• Use the protective cover when not in use.

Removing Stains:

• Even with adequate sealer, liquids like red wine, oil, and other acid products could still break down the sealer and be absorbed into the material - particularly if not well maintained.
• To remove you could try a fine grit sand paper to remove the stains from the surface (remembering to test a small patch in a discreet area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the surface). Then re-apply sealer.
