Cleaning ThirstyStone Coasters

• How do I clean my Thirstystone coasters?
Rinse your coasters in cool, clear water and allow to air dry. A fresh beverage stain will most often wash out with plain water. For an old or stubborn stain, wet the coaster or trivet, apply a few drops of mild detergent and lightly scrub with a sponge or brush. Rinse and allow it to air dry. Dishwashing is not recommended as the extreme abrasion and heat of a dishwasher will cause the natural cork backing to deteriorate.

• How do I clean my Ambiance or Occasions coasters?
Rinse in hot water and allow to air dry. Immediately wash any fresh beverage stains with hot water and mild detergent. If necessary, scrub lightly with a solution of mild detergent and diluted bleach. Rinse and air dry. Repeat if necessary.
Coasters must be completely dry before storing or stacking. Dishwashing is not recommended. Do not dry coasters in the oven or microwave. We cannot be responsible for discoloration due to liquids spilled on coasters.

With reasonable care, your Thirstystone, Ambiance, or Occasions coasters will provide years of use and enjoyment.

Story Of The ThirstystoneStory Of The ThirstystoneThe Story of the Stone
Thirstystone® began selling natural sandstone disks to be used under beverage glasses in 1989. The natural absorbency of the sandstone made Thirstystone Coasters a best seller virtually overnight. The combination of beautiful natural sandstone, exquisite full color artwork, and pure functionality has maintained sales strength for fifteen years.

Thirstystone Quarry
Thirstystone quarries their sandstone in the Southwestern United States using the most environmentally conscious methods to extract the sandstone boulders that will be crafted into Thirstystone coasters.
Rock & Roll
The massive sandstone boulders are transported from the quarries to Thirstystone's manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona. The huge boulders are then unloaded into the yard from Thirstystone's truck.
Getting to the Core of the Matter
The sandstone boulders are core drilled using a large bit that extracts approximately 120 4"-round stone cores from each boulder. Every usable portion of the boulder is utilized to maximize the yield.
A Cut Above the Rest
The sandstone cores are sliced into 3/8" disks, then sent to the Sanding and Set Making Departments where the edges are sanded smooth and the stones are sorted into matching sets. There are no two sets of coasters exactly alike.
A Lasting Impression
The coasters are transported to Thirstystone's production facility in Texas where the coasters are printed using printing technology developed by Thirstystone.

The Finishing Touch
Printed coaster sets are packaged, labeled and shipped to customers from Thirstystone's facility.
