Frequently Asked Questions

Can we wash the slate in a dishwasher?
- No, mild kitchen cleaner and a damp cloth is the best way. Putting the slate through a dishwasher will ruin the felt backing and possibly block your filter.

Will all the slate look the same?
- No, because the slate is hand crafted, irregularities must be expected on the surface and edges. Please also be aware of sharp edges when handling this product. Also the colour & amount of mineral content of the slate will change slightly over time as different seams are quarried.

How can we look after the slate?
- From time to time you might want to rub a good natural oil onto the surface of the slate to enhance its natural colour & contours.

Where does the slate come from?
- We use both recycled Scottish Ballachulish (Balla-hool-ish) slate and imported Spanish slate.
