Slate coasters are both practical and beautiful. They protect your table while adding a rustic and timeless touch to your setting. Here at Norrgården, we create personalized slate coasters with engraved designs, where every detail makes each one unique. To keep them looking great year after year, it helps to give them a little care.
Here are our best tips for maintaining your slate coasters.
Cleaning – simple and gentle
Slate is a natural material and does best with gentle cleaning. Use a soft cloth or sponge with lukewarm water, and add a mild dish soap if needed. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, as they can scratch the surface or affect the clarity of the engraving.
After cleaning, dry the coasters thoroughly with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
Protection and sealing
If you want to give your slate coasters some extra protection, you can lightly oil them with a neutral mineral oil or a stone-specific oil. This enhances the natural color variations of the slate and gives it a deep, rich sheen.
Avoid extreme temperatures
Slate is durable, but like all natural materials, it prefers normal room temperatures. Avoid placing very hot pots or pans directly on the coasters — use a cork trivet for that instead. Slate works perfectly for glasses, mugs and plates.
Store them properly
When the coasters aren’t in use, you can store them standing upright or stacked. If you want to prevent small scratches, place a thin napkin or soft cloth between each one.
Personalized coasters that last
When you choose personalized slate coasters, you get not only a stylish and practical addition to your table, but also something unique that will last for years. With just a little care, your coasters will keep looking great — and may even become part of your family’s table memories for many years to come.
