Slate Furniture Inserts--Cleaning
Slate inserts are used in table tops or as separate
trivets or hot pads. Slate inserts are usually sealed or
finished like the wood table, and may be cleaned with the
same kind of cleaning wax used on the wood. Never wax hot
pads of slate as the wax would melt from a hot dish;
these may be washed with a mild detergent solution when
soiled, and rinsed and wiped dry.
