Why Is Natural Stone Care Important?
Natural stone surfaces are porous. Without proper care, they may absorb water, oils, and other substances, leading to stains and surface wear over time. Following basic maintenance practices helps natural stone preserve its original look for many years.
How Should Natural Stone Be Maintained?
Daily Cleaning
Clean stone surfaces with warm water and neutral pH cleaners. Avoid acidic or harsh chemicals. Use soft cloths or mops for daily cleaning.
Periodic Maintenance
Stones such as marble, travertine, and limestone benefit from periodic care to maintain texture and appearance. High-traffic areas especially require regular attention.
Outdoor Maintenance
Outdoor stones should be checked during seasonal changes. Proper protection ensures durability against sun, rain, and frost.
