Care

Living with a hand-applied finish.

Most care comes down to a soft cloth and mild products. After every project we leave care notes written for the specific material in your home.

Venetian plaster

Dust with a soft, dry cloth
Wipe marks with a damp cloth and mild soap where waxed or sealed
Renew wax in busy areas when it looks dull

Avoid

Abrasive pads or powders
Solvent or ammonia cleaners
Taping directly onto a fresh wall in the first weeks

Roman clay

Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth
Blot spills quickly on sealed areas
Keep labeled leftover material for touch-ups

Avoid

Scrubbing unsealed surfaces
Harsh cleaners
Hanging art with adhesive strips

Limewash

Dust with a soft brush
Spot-clean with plain water and a soft sponge
Refresh worn areas with a new coat, blended in

Avoid

Scrubbing or wet wiping large areas
Detergents
Pressure washing exterior limewash

Microcement

Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner
Squeegee showers after use
Renew the protective sealer as advised for your system

Avoid

Bleach, acids or limescale removers
Abrasive pads
Dragging heavy furniture without pads

Touch-ups

Small marks are usually repairable.

Lime finishes can be touched up locally and blended. Microcement can be repaired and resealed. A repair is closest in color when made with the same batch, so keep the labeled leftover material we hand over.

Warranty terms are written into your estimate.
