At Absolute Stone Care, we specialise in the restoration and maintenance of marble, granite, limestone, bluestone, terrazzo, and travertine surfaces.
To keep these stone surfaces looking their best, follow these 7 essential tips
1. Clean Regularly with the Right Products
Avoid harsh or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the stone’s surface. Use pH-neutral stone cleaners or a mild dish soap mixed with warm water. A soft microfiber cloth or mop helps prevent dirt and grime buildup.
2. Wipe Spills Immediately
Marble, limestone, and travertine are particularly porous and prone to staining. Clean up spills immediately using a damp cloth. Blot instead of wiping to prevent spreading the liquid.
3. Use Coasters and Trivets
Protect your stone countertops from stains and heat damage by using coasters under drinks and trivets under hot items. Acidic substances like wine, coffee, and citrus can etch the surface, so extra caution is needed.
4. Seal Your Stone Surfaces
Protect your stone countertops from stains and heat damage by using coasters under drinks and trivets under hot items. Acidic substances like wine, coffee, and citrus can etch the surface, so extra caution is needed.
5. Avoid Abrasive Materials
Scrubbing with steel wool or rough sponges can scratch marble, granite, and other natural stone surfaces. Stick to soft, non-abrasive cloths and gentle brushes when cleaning.
6. Dust and Sweep Regularly
For stone flooring, dirt and sand act like sandpaper, wearing down the surface over time. Sweep or dust mop regularly to maintain a polished look, especially for bluestone and terrazzo surfaces.
7. Schedule Professional Maintenance
Even with proper care, stone surfaces may lose their shine or develop minor imperfections. Absolute Stone Care provides expert polishing, honing, and restoration services to rejuvenate worn-out surfaces and bring back their original beauty.
