MIXX Concrete Care

Concrete MIXX products are composed of natural materials: granite stone powder,

Portland cement, natural jute fibers and water.

MIXX products are finished with a water-based acrylic surface sealer, which provides a

protective barrier in both interior and exterior environments. Our UV resistant sealer is

non-yellowing and protects against water and chloride intrusion while permitting moisture

in the concrete to escape.

Once the protective barrier is broken, usually through mechanical action or heat

degeneration, the sealer cannot function to its full potential and the item must be resealed

again. Cutting into or directly on the concrete can break the protective barrier. Placing hot

pans directly on the concrete will also break the protective barrier.

To safeguard your product and maintain a strong protective seal over the life of the

product, we recommend that you periodically wax (3-4 times per year) your MIXX

concrete product with a paraffin-based wax or stone floor wax sealer (i.e. Johnson’s Floor

Wax). It is important to spot test prior to full application to ensure that your chosen

product does not leave a milky, undesirable residue on top of the factory-applied acrylic

sealer.

We suggest that you apply the wax sealer liberally with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

Quickly rub the wax onto the product; do not allow it to dry or harden on the product,

which may significantly alter the patina. Use a clean, soft dry cloth to buff to desired

luster and allow the concrete to absorb the wax for at least 4 hours.

Please note that, even with the factory-applied acrylic surface sealer and proper

application of paraffin-based wax, concrete is naturally a porous material that is

susceptible to staining. Properly maintaining your MIXX product will provide a strong

base of protection, but the item is still not 100% sealed.

Avoiding stains and damage: Although suggested sealing will enhance the protective barrier on your MIXX product, concrete is a naturally porous material, which is prone to absorption. It is very important to be mindful of the product’s properties and follow a few simple steps: • Clean your MIXX product using water and mild soap (i.e. dish soap). Do not use heavy abrasive, bleach-based or ammoniated cleaners. Use of such cleaners will wear down the protective barrier and result in less stain resistance.
