Yes, it is highly durable. The underlying Venetian plaster (Marmorino) is a hard, lime-based finish that can be polished to resist surface damage. The entire finish is sealed with a protective wax or specialty sealant to guard against dust and minor scuffs. To clean it, simply use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive soap. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the top sealant layer.
