Natural stone floor cleaning often requires added restoration services. Restoring stone and tile usually involves several steps. At the minimum, all stone and tile suffer some form of general deterioration. In many cases, soil, spillages and traffic marks affect the floor finish, consequently the importance of stone restoration. Polished floors like terrazzo, Stone and granite reveal wear much faster as the lustre gets dull from foot traffic scratching. Porous stone and tile sealed using a coating sealer will steadily sustain wear deterioration.
Most stone and tile floors have grout. Grout is generally softer than stone and much more in danger of abrasive and chemical deterioration. Cracks, chips and hole repairs are frequently part of the restoration work.
We use grinding and honing to remove surface damage caused by etch marks and scratches. Natural stone can be ground to reveal a new surface.

Use a pH-neutral cleaner safe for natural stone surfaces. Do not use corrosive or rough cleaners on stone. Use a mixture of baking soda and water as a poultice, apply it to the stain, cover with plastic, and leave it for 24-48 hours before scrubbing.
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide into a paste and apply it to the grout. Scrub gently with a grout brush or toothbrush, then rinse with water. Seal the grout with a fresh layer of sealer once it is dry.
Never use vinegar on limestone or Stone; ceramic tiles are safe.
Allow fresh airflow, dry water with a squeegee, and clean the area with a neutral cleaner. Sealing grout prevents water from penetrating.
Yes, sealing helps protect stone and grout from daily wear. Seal porous surfaces every 1-2 years as directed to preserve them. For heavy use, reapply sealant every 6 months.
