When you have marble or granite counters and tiles, there
are special ways you must clean these surfaces in order to get the most out of
them. The stone care experts of Aldayna Stone Care and Maintenance want to give
you some stone care tips that if applied regularly will save you from needless
damage to these surfaces and keep these exquisite stones in peak condition –
improving the aesthetic and monetary value of your home.- Do not use household cleaners such as bleach or vinegar-based solvents, since these will eat through the protective sealant and lustrous finishing that gives marble and granite their shine. Invest in specialized, pH-neutral stone cleaners for what you need.
- Cosmetics and toiletries can damage stone sinks and countertops, and an easy way around this is to place mouthwash, nail polish remover, perfume and other acids on a mat or in a shelf cabinet.
- Clean up spills immediately. Spills that are left to sit will damage the sealer and damage the tops of the stone. To avoid scratches and nicks, using a plastic spoon or paper towel on spills and to scrape up food or dirt will not damage the floor as a metal object could.
- Use a nylon brush to sweep dirt and soil out of cracks. Although this can take longer than vacuuming would, it will save you from harmful sweeping on the top of the stone. Granite and marble are durable materials, but they can still be abused.
- Seal grout lines and keep spills from sinking into or behind the stone.
These are some weekly routines that can save you time and
money in the long run while keeping your home looking brilliant and bright for
many years. Aldyana Stone Care and Maintenance would love to answer your
questions and provide more New Jersey marble restoration tips if you have more questions, so
