A laundry isn’t just a workspace—it’s a vital part of your home. At Acropolis Marble & Granite, we design laundry stone surfaces that are as durable and functional as they are beautiful. From benchtops that resist the mess of daily living to smart splashbacks, sinks, and finishes, we tailor everything so your laundry works harder so you don’t have to.

Why Choose Stone In The Laundry
Acropolis
-
Durability & Resistance to Moisture
Stone benchtops are widely used in laundries because they endure moisture better than many materials. Natural and reconstituted stone are good choices for surfaces that may remain damp or exposed to splashing. -
Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
With daily washing and potentially harsh detergents or soaps, laundry surfaces need to be easy to clean, stain‑resistant, and tolerant of frequent use. Smooth stone surfaces sealed correctly help reduce staining and make cleaning easier. -
Strength & Load‑Bearing
Benchtops in laundries often carry sinks (sometimes troughs), laundry machines, ironing boards or folding surfaces—stone provides the required strength when fabricated well. We can help design supports, thickness and substrate to ensure no sagging or cracking. -
Aesthetic & Design Continuity
Matching stone across benchtops, splashbacks, surrounds and furniture gives a cohesive, high‑end finish. Stone comes in many colours, veining, edge profiles and finishes to match your interior design.
Care & Maintenance Tips
Acropolis
-
To keep your stone surfaces in the laundry looking their best:
-
Clean regularly with warm soapy water or mild, pH‑neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals. Wipe up spills immediately—detergents, bleach, acids can stain if left too long.
-
Use splashbacks or waterproofing behind sinks and tap areas to avoid moisture damage behind the stone.
-
Use a sealer on natural stones and re‑seal as required (frequency depends on stone type and usage).
-
Avoid placing very hot objects directly on stone surfaces—use hot pads or mats.
-
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or harsh acid‑based cleaners; use soft cloths or sponges.

Frequently Asked Questions (Laundries)
Is natural stone stable for laundries?
Yes—stone is a great choice when properly selected, sealed and maintained. It copes well with moisture, splashes and frequent cleaning.
How often does stone in a laundry need resealing?
It depends on the stone type, finish and how often the surface is used. Natural stone may need resealing every 1‑3 years or more; reconstituted stone often less. We’ll advise based on your specific stone.
Will stone stain from laundry detergents or bleach?
Some detergents (especially strong ones) or bleach left in contact can damage or discolour stone. Quick rinse, proper sealing and choosing more resistant materials mitigate risk.
Does stone get slippery when wet?
Smooth polished surfaces can become slippery; if that is a concern (especially near wet zones or mud areas), textured or honed finishes, or edge detailing, or drainage planning can help.
