Caring for Jesmonite
Thank you for choosing a handcrafted terrazzo mio creation. Each piece is made with Jesmonite — a durable, eco-friendly material that blends mineral powder and water-based resin for a stone-like finish. With a little care, it will stay beautiful for years.
Cleaning
-
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
-
For stubborn spots, use mild soap and lukewarm water.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
Protection
-
Jesmonite is sealed for water resistance, but not 100% waterproof — avoid prolonged contact with water.
-
Not food-safe — please keep away from direct contact with unwrapped food.
-
Avoid direct heat or placing in microwaves, ovens, or dishwashers.
-
Keep away from harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, acetone) to prevent surface damage.
Longevity Tips
-
Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
-
Use felt pads underneath trays and coasters to protect surfaces.
-
Wipe spills promptly to avoid staining, especially from liquids like coffee, wine, or oils.
✨ Note: Due to the handmade nature of Jesmonite, slight variations in color, texture, and pattern are normal — and part of what makes your piece one-of-a-kind.
