Caring for Your Slate Plaque

Slate is a naturally durable, “low-maintenance” stone, but a little care ensures your tribute stays clear for years.

Routine Cleaning: Simply wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the stone’s natural surface.
Outdoor Maintenance: If placed outside, seasonal cleaning with a soft brush will remove moss or algae. Avoid using pressure washers, which can cause micro-cracks.
Restoring the Finish: If the slate begins to look “grey” or dry over time, applying a tiny amount of baby oil or linseed oil with a dry cloth will restore that deep, dark lustre and help repel water.
Handle with Care: While slate is tough, it can chip if dropped on hard surfaces. Always handle your plaque by the edges to avoid leaving oily fingerprints on the engraved photo.
