Care & Maintenance
How do I clean my piece?
We recommend using neutral soap and warm water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I place hot items directly on the surface?
While our pieces are heat-resistant up to 80°C, we advise using coasters or trivets to maintain the finish.
Can I drill into a TOSCO Studio piece?
No, our products should never be drilled. If fixing is required, it must be done using adhesive or mounting techniques. If drilling is necessary, it should be done exclusively with a diamond drill by a professional.
Will my piece change over time?
Yes. Concrete develops a natural patina, including subtle variations in texture and tone. This is part of its beauty, but proper care can slow this process.
