Reality of Inlay Art in Udaipur
“Inlay Art in Udaipur” is renowned for its pietra dura technique, where semi‑precious stones are set into white marble to create floral, geometric, or figurative motifs. These textures can be encountered in the furnishing of medallions on floors, on table tops and architectural facings. Udaipur is seasonally humid and dusty and failure to give regular care can fade the colors, impart grits and the pieces of stone can loosen up.
Some Necessity Tools and Supplies to Clean up Your Inlay Art
Having the proper materials will guarantee the safest and sound maintenance:
- Soft-bristled cleaning tools (soft brushes and microfiber cloths) to remove a gentle dust.
- pH-neutral cleaning stone (do not use acid or alkaline formulas).
- Distilled water to avoid the spotting of minerals.
- Professional‑grade sealant recommended by Gaj Arts.
- Polishing products to add shine after taking a deep clean.
Put on the nitrile gloves and protective spectacles whenever conducting deep‑cleaning sessions to protect your own hands and the surface of the stone.
