Cleaning Sandstone
Our Sandstone cleaning programs covers a variety of Sandstone floor types, covering common local sandstone like York stone and natural flagstone.
First Strong cleaning chemicals break up the soil. Then we leave the cleaner for around twenty minutes to break up the greasy ingrained soil. Our specialists use a commercial scrubbing machine to work the cleaner deep to the surface of the Sandstone.
We use water to wash away the scrubbing solution. Keep on scrubbing and rinsing until the floor is clean. With honed Sandstone, 1 or 2 scrub and rinse steps is usually sufficient. But, with tumbled Sandstone, filled or grout filled, the cleaning may need several applications. Srubbing machinery may not clean out all dirt.

A final hot pressure rinse step is usually needed.
Using integrated high-pressure nozzles, it is easy to clean out stubborn impacted soil.

This stone must breathe, so a breathable sealer is required. In this situation, we go with a penetrating impregnating sealer. 3 or 4 layers of sealer ought to provide the required amount of coverage. If less sealer is put on, the sealer is not going to protect the floor.
