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.
