• Minor surface scratches can be removed by re-sealing with SC-SEALER (Available for sale by the Outdoor GreatRoom Company)
• If any colored liquids such as wine or soda are spilled on your mantel, clean off immediately to avoid possible staining.
• We recommend dusting your mantel regularly and cleaning with a mixture of mild dish detergent and warm water; rinse thoroughly.
