NATURAL STONE CARE

Basic Tips

NEVER use vinegar, acid based cleaners or harsh abrasive cleansers.
Interior and exterior walk-off mats at major entrances are a must.
Stone floors should be dust mopped more often, and wet mopped less often. Dirt and grit cause the most wear; therefore, eliminating them is best for your floor. (Over wet-mopping can result in soiling the grout and lower areas in the stone.)
When using a dust mop treat the mop head with a non-oily residue treatment, which will help attract and hold dust.
When grout becomes soiled, flood mop floors with Floor Clean & Conditioner, then scrub grout and tile with a soft-bristled brush, pick up water with mop.
Use leather pieces on the bottom of chairs and stools that are moved frequently.
Chairs with rollers should be avoided on some stones. (travertine, limestone and marble)
When severe deposit rings build up in toilets, use pumice stones and rub away.
When cleaning heavily soiled areas, apply cleaning product and let dwell for a few minutes.

Flooring

Use interior and exterior mats at all entrances to keep dirt and grit off floor.
Dust mop or vacuum floors frequently.
(use a non-oily residue dust mop treatment.)
Wipe up spills immediately.
Wet Mopping
– use only a quality string mop & Floor Clean & Conditioner.
-Damp mop as needed
(ring out almost all water solution and mop floors).
-Flood mop high traffic areas as needed (to flood mop, flood one section of the floor at a time and allow water solution to set for several minutes, then pick up with mop.)
