Cast Stone Care Guide

Helpful next step

If this guide is helping you choose or care for an outdoor piece, compare the garden routes that fit the spot you have in mind.

How to care for your cast stone piece

The right care depends on the individual piece, its finish and where it is used. Start with the product-specific instructions, then use the general checks below.

Outdoor pieces

Start with the exact product page. Painted, metallic, polymer and mirror-tile finishes need different care from plain cast stone. For a plain cast-stone piece, begin with a soft brush or soft cloth, clean water and gentle drying. Avoid pressure washers, wire brushes, abrasive pads, bleach, acids and strong patio cleaners unless the product page or Ripleys Nest has confirmed they are suitable for that finish.

Indoor pieces

For indoor pieces, wipe with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach and acids. Do not apply furniture wax, masonry paint or another coating as a general treatment. If a finish is chipped, lifting or changing, stop and contact hello@ripleysnest.co.uk with the product name and a photo so the compatible next step can be confirmed.

Gold and metallic finishes

Do not assume every gold or metallic finish uses the same coating. Follow the care instructions for the individual piece. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid moisture on these finishes where possible , if the piece gets wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth.

Mirror and glass pieces

Check the individual piece before cleaning mirror tiles. Begin with a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners unless the product instructions confirm they are suitable. If a tile or its fixing is damaged, stop using the piece and contact us with a photo.

If something goes wrong

If a piece is chipped or damaged, contact us with the product name and a photo before attempting a repair. Do not apply filler, paint or another coating until a compatible next step has been confirmed.
