Maintenance & Long-Term Care To protect the timeless elegance of your Mercer Crown molding:

• Sealing: As a natural marble, this trim must be sealed upon installation with a premium, non-yellowing stone sealer to protect against moisture and oils.

• Daily Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or a sponge with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid using any acidic household cleaners (like vinegar or lemon) which can etch the marble.

• Avoid Abrasives: Never use scouring pads or steel wool; these will dull the polished shine.

• Grout Safety: We recommend using non-sanded grout to ensure the polished face of the marble is not scratched during the grouting process.
