More Stone Care Tips and Maintenance Ideas for Your Natural Stone

Installation of natural stone comes with an even greater responsibility to maintain it regularly and restore it whenever necessary. Routine cleaning of marble, granite and other natural stones prevents damage and keep the stones beautiful. The Marble man, Australia’s top marble floor and countertop restoration company, specialises in restoring the natural beauty of stones through various processes and thus providing immediate solution to any stone surface problem so encountered. Besides, the Marble Man experts also offer valuable advice to the clients concerning protection of their natural stones from all possible damages. In order to maintain the natural stone, homeowners need to emphasize on three most important things namely prevention of damage, cleaning without damage and removing stains.

To prevent damage of natural stone, daily cleaning is must, though it is not enough to ensure future protection. Regular cleaning along with routine maintenance by stone repair and natural stone restoration professionals will enhance the value and longevity of your stone surface. Most importantly, try to prevent contact between the materials that cause stain and the stone surface. Put large mats at the entrance to collect the outside dirt and soil which enter the house via the shoes. These mats must be shaken and vacuumed frequently. Also, vacuum the stone surface regularly and ensure that the dirt and soil is removed.

Good quality stone sealers must be applied professionally to prevent stains from penetrating into the stone surface. Resurfacing the stone surface will replace the dull, worn out stone by a smoother and harder finish that prevents staining and wear. Also, it is easier to clean a smooth surface as dirt and grime do not get trapped into the uneven spots.

Another most important part of stone maintenance is cleaning it without damaging the floor. The best method is to use the right cleaning material which is a pH neutral cleaner specially recommended for cleaning natural stone. Remember not to use abrasive cleaners on the stone surface and nylon scrubbing pads as they are harder than marble and will eventually scratch it. Professionals recommend the use of soft cleaners and sponges instead of thick cleaners as the latter will stick to the stone. Check out the Cleaning Products recommended by The Marble Man's professional team for better stone care. 

To prevent stains, wipe up spills immediately. In case the stain has already appeared, try to determine whether it is water-based or oil-based and clean it accordingly. You may not be able to do this without the assistance of the expert stone repairers. Stone care professionals will examine the damage caused and treat it properly so that your stone is protected from further damage. Before applying any chemical to clean stone surfaces, seek The Marble Man’s expert advice and save your stone from damages. In case damage has already occurred, it’s time to turn up to the stone restoration specialist as their professional techniques will bring back the old shine on your stone tiles.

Some Useful Guidelines for Tile & Grout Cleaning and Natural Stone Maintenance

Bathroom cleaning is an important task and is necessary to keep it hygienic. The ingredients of commercial cleaners are often harsh chemicals that can disturb the delicate PH balance of your natural stone surface. These strong chemicals will also affect the stone’s mineral layers and destroy the overall look and feel.  Some cleaners also have lemon or vinegar composition which are acidic and can etch the surface. Thus it’s clear that even though commercial cleaners do clean your bathroom, they can affect the tiles and grout. This will necessitate frequent repairing or even replacing the tiles with the passage of time.

Recommended cleaning products such as stone soaps and cleaners are PH balanced and designed to gently penetrate porous surfaces of natural stones and lift in-grained dirt. If you want safe and effective bathroom cleaning, you should call for professional stone repairing and cleaning services.

Grout Sealing   

Sealing the grout is a must to safeguard it from damages. Sealing helps the grout looking its best and last longer. After thorough cleaning of the tile and grout, leave it dry and then apply the sealer. You can use either penetrating sealer or membrane sealer. Penetrating sealers get absorbed into the grout and require to be applied once in 3 years. Whereas the membrane sealers protect the tile and grout by forming a barrier and they need to be refreshed once in two years. While applying the sealer, follow the grout lines and apply using pen like applicator. If the tiles are glazed you can spray or brush the sealer over the surface. After it gets dried apply the second coat.

Natural Stone Honing 

Water ring and spots: It commonly occurs in marble and other natural stones due to etching or hard water minerals such as magnesium and calcium that are left behind when water gets evaporated forming spot or rings. Professional honing can restore the stone from this water rings and spots.

White stun marks: They appear commonly in certain type of marbles which are tiny explosions of the stone. The marks are caused by pin point pressures which may be due to blunt pointed instruments or women’s high heels. They are difficult to remove and may need honing or grinding by stone restoration specialists. 

Stone Polishing and Diamond Grinding

The best and optimal method to restore the stone is mechanical abrasion which is also called as diamond grinding. Stone restoration done with diamond grinding will retain its fresh look longer than the same done with other methods like honing powders, sanding screens and paste polishes. It may cost you more initially but can be done once in 4-6 years instead of 1 to 2 years with other methods.

High quality granite is very resistant to damage, but the stone will chip if hard or heavy object hits the weak corner. Cracking can also result if there are errors in installation or fabrication. Some stones that are sold as granite absorb cooking oil easily and it darkens the surface significantly. Only through poultice you can remove these stains. Stone containing calcium gets etched and whitened by acidic substances like vinegar, citric juices etc. These stones are marked as granite but true granite doesn't get acid etching. The sealers also get damaged by these acidic substances.   

Know Some of the Potential Damages to Natural Stone Surfaces, Their Causes and Remedies

Granite, Marble limestone and other valuable decorative stones are highly durable and last a life time. However, if they are not properly cared for or installed correctly, it’ll affect their beauty and durability.  

Following are the most common issues with natural stone surfaces that may occur in your floor tiles, kitchen counter tops, vanity tops and other stone surfaces:

• LOSS OF LUSTRE:  High polish in the marble and granite gets lost due to wear of the stone surface by dirt and sand that are tracked by the shoes. They act like sandpaper on the stone surface and wear the polish off. This can be restored by stone repair and restoration professionals like The Marble Man.
• ETCHING: It is caused by spilling of liquids that contain acids, resulting in white spots formation on the stone surface. As granite is acid resistant, it will rarely etch, but marble and other stone surfaces are prone to etching.  Use cleaners that do not contain acids to avoid etching. Deep or large etching requires professional stone restoration services.  
• STAINS: If the stones are not properly sealed, stains can occur due to spilling of food, drinks, oil, and ink etc. Mostly they can be removed but tough stains need professional stone care services. Permanent stains can also occur but not often.
• EFFLORESCENCE: This is the white powdery residue which appears on stone installations where the presence of water is high. It is formed when water carrying the mineral salt inside the stone structure reaches the surface and gets evaporated, leaving the salt on the stone surface.  Remove extra moisture or water presence, buff the stone and leave it to dry. Seal the stone after all the efflorescence have gone.
•  SPALL, PITT AND FLAKE: Like efflorescence, mineral salts are the cause of this deformation. Instead of depositing salt on the surface, it deposits salt below the stone surface, and puts pressure on the stone making it to flake, pit and spall.
• YELLOWING: There are several reasons for a stone to turn yellow.  Embedded grime and dirt, waxes and other coatings may be the cause. Oxidation of the iron in the stone also causes yellowing of the stone. Only professional stone restoration specialists can set right this problem perfectly.
• LIPPAGE OR UNEVEN TILES: Lippage occurs when the edge of a tile is in higher level than that of the next one due to poor installation. The restoration professionals ground the tiles to flatten the floor.
• CRACKS AND CHIPS: Cracks and chips can occur because of poor installation and due to fall of heavy objects on the vulnerable corners. This can be restored by The Marble Man professionals using epoxy or color matched polyester.

Stone Restoration

Generally speaking, it is the process of restoring the worn out stone to its newly installed state. Stone restoration is a delicate process that can be done perfectly only by well experienced stone restoration company like The Marble Man.  It involves removal of any damages, scratches, cracks etc. from the stone surface using various processes such as stone grinding, honing, polishing and sealing as per the type of damage.

It’s Time to Bring Granite Home, and Stone Restoration Specialists Too

Granite, owing to its durability and versatility, is the most preferred natural stone for both residential and commercial purposes. Granite tiles have numerous applications ranging from exterior and interior wall cladding to kitchen flooring, shower surrounds, bathroom and kitchen countertops as well as stone benchtops. Installation of tiles is less expensive compared to that of slabs, and granite tiles are now being increasingly used in kitchens and bathrooms as there is minimal risk of granite tiles getting etched which ensures long-lasting surface. The Marble Man, Australia’s No.1 natural stone restoration specialist, offers tile restoration services and provides the best care and maintenance of your granite tiles.

Why Use Granite Tiles?

Granite has a number of advantages over other commonly used stones such as marble, limestone or travertine. If beauty is a concern, which surely is, then the most important advantage of granite is that it’s as beautiful as marble, and comes in different colors and offers a variety of patterns to choose from. Moreover, it is less susceptible to etches and stains unlike marble or other stones and thus ensures longevity. It requires simple maintenance procedure, though polished granite may require periodic re-polishing, just like any other polished stone, depending on the degree of use.

Granite Floor Tiles Maintenance

To restore the gloss and shine of the stone surface and protect it from damage caused due to heavy objects or extensive use, re-sealing should be done once in every year. Apart from sealing, certain other periodic activities should be done to restore the newness of the floor tiles.

• Inspect the edges and grout- Sometimes small chips in the granite can cause bigger cracks which finally lead to breakage. If you spot anything like this immediately call the experts to replace the tiles.
• Wipe up spills immediately- To prevent staining, clean any food, drink or spills immediately. Besides, mud or dirt should be swept away quickly so that small rock particles do not get embedded in the granite and cause scratches.
• Use appropriate cleaners- Clean the stone surface with approved granite cleaner instead of abrasive cleaners, bleach or other detergent which might damage the color of granite. To know the correct product for a particular stone, visit The Marble Man’s product page.
• Daily cleaning- Use a dry mop or duster to clean the tiles every day. This prevents dust, dirt and small particles from accumulating on the tile. Use warm water and soap cleaning of the tile. However, deep rinsing must be done so that no residue is left behind.

If your granite tile shows huge damage, discoloration or stain, it will not be prudent to handle that yourself. It is time for you to call the stone repair and tile restoration professionals, who would employ the best techniques of tile works without damaging the stone surface. Seek the best advice from the experts who will work to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.
