The right care products help you keep your table top in optimal condition for years. Each material has its own requirements. Below you will find the recommended products and care instructions per material type.

Quick guide per material

Ceramic: maintenance-free. A damp cloth is sufficient. No special products needed.
Oak / walnut: damp cloth for daily cleaning. The 2K lacquer layer provides protection.
Granite: periodic sealing with Lithofin products. Clean daily with Lithofin Easy Clean.
Stainless steel: damp cloth. Optionally a stainless steel cleaner for the base.

Ceramic table tops: no maintenance needed

Ceramic is the most maintenance-free table top material. The surface absorbs nothing (water absorption below 0.1%), so stains from wine, coffee, sauces and oils simply wipe away with a damp cloth. No sealing, no oiling, no lacquering. Ever.

For stubborn stains you can use a mild cleaning product. Ceramic resists all common household cleaners, red wine, coffee, oil and acids; stains leave no marks.

Wood table tops: lacquered oak and walnut

All wood table tops are finished with 2K matte lacquer that protects against moisture and stains. Daily care is straightforward: wipe with a damp cloth.

Care tips for lacquered wood:

  • Use trivets for hot pans and dishes
  • Wipe up spills promptly
  • Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning products
  • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent uneven discolouration

The advantage of solid wood: should the surface show wear after years of intensive use, the top can be sanded and re-lacquered by a craftsperson. This restores the original appearance without needing a new top.

Granite table tops: sealing and cleaning

Granite is delivered sealed as standard. The sealant fills the pores and prevents liquids from penetrating. Over time, the sealant wears. We recommend annual re-sealing for dining tables in daily use.

Daily cleaning: use a damp cloth with Lithofin Easy Clean or a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic products such as lemon, vinegar or descaler, as these can attack the granite surface.

Re-sealing process: apply the sealant, let it absorb (approximately 15 minutes), remove excess with a clean cloth. The process takes about 15 minutes per table.

Stainless steel bases

Brushed stainless steel requires minimal maintenance. Wipe in the direction of the brush grain with a damp cloth. Do not use scouring pads. For fingerprints or lime spots, a dedicated stainless steel cleaner can be used, though this is rarely necessary with the brushed finish.

Steel bases (powder-coated)

Powder-coated steel is easy to maintain: wipe with a damp cloth. For outdoor bases with primer coating, inspect the coating annually for damage. Contact us for advice if you find chips or scratches in the coating.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I clean my ceramic tabletop?
Ceramic is virtually maintenance-free. Wiping it down with a damp cloth is enough for daily cleaning. For stubborn dirt such as baked-on food you can use Lithofin Easy Clean. The surface has a very low porosity, so liquids do not soak in and stains do not form.
What cleaning product should I use on a granite table?
For daily use Lithofin Easy Clean works well. For stubborn marks such as grease or baked-on food you can apply Lithofin Stain Remover, diluted or neat. Never use acidic products such as vinegar or lemon juice as they will etch the surface.
How do I maintain a lacquered oak or walnut tabletop?
Oak and walnut tops are finished with a high-quality 2K lacquer that protects the wood. Day-to-day cleaning with a lightly damp cloth is enough. For stubborn dirt you can use a mild solution of lukewarm water with a drop of washing-up liquid. Always dry the surface afterwards. No special products are needed.
How often should I re-seal granite?
Once a year for outdoor use, once every two years for indoor use. Granite is supplied sealed as standard. You will notice re-sealing is needed when water droplets no longer bead up on the surface but start to soak in.
Can I put a hot pan on my tabletop?
That depends on the material. Ceramic is heat-resistant: you can place hot pans and dishes directly on the top. Granite is not heat-resistant: a hot pan can cause thermal shock and crack the slab. Always use trivets or coasters on granite, oak and walnut.
How do I clean a stainless steel table base?
Zep Inox Cleaner is made specifically for stainless steel. Spray it onto the surface, polish in the direction of the brushed grain and wipe dry. The cleaner removes fingerprints and leaves a protective layer. Alternative: Zep 7-11 Radiant cleans, polishes and protects in a single step.
Does a powder-coated steel base need extra maintenance?
No, the powder coating protects the steel from moisture and UV. Simply wipe the frame with a damp cloth. With the outdoor primer applied, a steel base is just as suitable for outdoor use as stainless steel. The choice between steel and stainless steel is purely an aesthetic one.
