Natural Stone Floor Cleaning and Restoration Services in Los Angeles

Natural Stone Floor Cleaning

There are a couple of principles that are true about cleaning natural stone floors or anything else for that matter. First, you must use the proper cleaning agent for the proper stone. Secondly, you must rinse, rinse, rinse. Most people don’t take the time to rinse all of the everyday cleaners away, leaving a buildup of soap and dirt on top of the floor. Over time this can turn your once colorful or shiny stone floor into a dark, grimy eyesore.

We use a self-contained pressure/vacuum system with approximately 1000 psi to deep clean your marble, travertine, limestone, slate or granite floors. This process provides copious amounts of water, enabling us to rinse away sometimes years of soap and grim build up. We recommend having your natural stone floors cleaned annually.

Natural Stone Floor Restoration

Sometimes when dealing with marble, travertine and limestone, we are forced to perform a full restoration. This occurs when over the course of time, these surfaces become scratched to the point that they will not return to their original shine without grinding. Grinding marble, travertine and limestone is not difficult but it is time consuming. When we grind a surface, we are removing imperfections on the surface of the stone, in an effort to make the stone as flat as possible. This way it reflects light without any surface distortion.

Natural Stone Sealing

All unpolished natural stone needs to be sealed. This is especially true of honed or unpolished marble, travertine, or limestone. The reason is that an unpolished marble, travertine, or limestone is far more porous than its polished counterpart, meaning it will absorb spilled items far more quickly leading to dark spots in your expensive stone.

The objective of sealing these stones is so that if something were to spill on them, the sealer gives you a barrier and buys you time before the spilled item actually stains the very expensive stone. Additionally, any stone inside a shower or on a countertop should be sealed. This includes slate and even granite. Granite countertops should be sealed every 5-7 years, depending on care and quality of the sealer used. If you haven’t had your granite countertops sealed in that time frame, call for a consultation.
