Slate Quoit Boards are easy to maintain. If you spill any beverage onto your slate board you must wash it off with water. If there is a stain on your slate quoit board you can use soap and water and scrub it down with a brush. Make sure you thoroughly rinse off the slate or the soap will create a murky look on the slate. Do not use any type of chemical cleaners on your slate quoit board because this will ruin the texture. Do not use any type of sealants on your slate quoit boards. This will not enhance the look of the board it will ruin the texture that the rubber quoits need to play and wear correctly. We recommend that you store your slate quoit boards in your home, garage or shed. If you leave your Slate quoit boards outside it will be prone to the elements that will also change the texture of the board. It takes some time for the weathering effect to take place but if you leave it outdoors for a day or so there is no need to worry. We use treated lumber for the supports and stainle
