How to care for the Modern Marble Plinth End Table: address spills immediately with a dry, soft cloth. Natural stone is a porous material, and although it has been sealed, spills should be blotted promptly to minimize staining. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to dust or spot-clean as needed. Wipe dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, strong detergents and cleaners with bleach. Use trivets, coasters, placemats and adhesive felt pads to help prevent scratches.
