Clean and Seal Stone Tile

Do you find ugly looking stains and mold formation on your natural stone? Are you wondering what is the best way to clean your surfaces and seal them so as to prevent further staining? Many contractors and laymen use low quality cleaners available from Big Box Stores, which are not that effective in cleaning the stains and mold at the root level. They also use cheap water-based sealers, which peel off in some time, leading to staining issues again. Stone restoration has to be done in a proper and systematic way using high-quality products if you want prolonged results. In this article, we shall throw light on the best way to clean and seal stone tile floors.

Before proceeding to the right procedure guidelines followed by experts, let us know a bit about the problems with natural stone.

Problems with Natural Stone:

• The porous natural stone absorbs liquids and moisture inside its pores, leading to mold formation. Mold and mildew breed in damp and moist conditions.
• Mold if ignored, can spread quickly over the entire surface. It leaves an ugly looking greenish black residue causes health hazards like respiratory issues and eye problems. It also reeks of a bad odor.
• Natural stone easily gets chipped due to heavy impact and the cracks not only ruin the look of the surface, but also may cause harm to anyone walking barefoot due to the sharp edges.
• Stones shed dust making your surface looking dusty all the time.
• Etch marks on natural stone occur due to food and acidic beverage spills.

To preserve the integrity of stone tile floors they need to be cleaned and sealed properly. Experts always follow a step-by-step procedure to complete stone restoration. Mentioned below is a brief description of the best way to clean and seal stone tile floors.

Cleansing and Disinfecting Stone Tile Floors:

Stone tile floors need to be first thoroughly cleaned with penetrating cleaners, which rip off mold and mildew at the root level. Experts use strong cleaners to loosen the bonds of tough stains, thereby delivering an immaculately clean and sparkling surface.

Sealing Stone Tile:

After cleaning, experts perform sealing natural stone. Sealing before cleaning will result in a hazy and cloudy looking surface as the dirt and mold is left beneath the protective seal. A proper sealing job entails imparting an glossy sheen on the natural stone, which will not result if the surface is dirty. Sealing kitchen floors is important if you want to protect your surfaces from etching and staining due to spills. Similarly, sealing natural stone in showers, prevents the surface from mold and soap scum formation. Experts first clean the surface efficiently and only then engage in sealing stone shower floor or kitchen flooring. The best sealing results can be obtained by using clear resin solvent based sealers which form a protective barrier on the surface and make it waterproof.
