How To Clean Onyx
Onyx is a natural stone prized for its dramatic veining and translucent look. It is also one of the most delicate stones used in homes, which means gentle products and soft tools matter even more.
Why Onyx Needs Gentle Cleaners
- Acidic cleaners can etch and permanently dull the surface
- Abrasives can scratch polished onyx quickly
- Strong chemicals can discolor lighter onyx over time
- In wet areas, residue and minerals can create a cloudy look
Common Onyx Problems
- Soap residue and film in showers
- Water spots and mineral deposits
- Dull or etched looking areas from improper cleaners
- Smudges and streaks on polished finishes
