Know Your Stone Types

Natural stone is divided into two categories based on its composition; calcareous stone or siliceous stone. Understanding the difference is crucial when cleaning stone surfaces to avoid damaging or staining the surface.

Siliceous stone

Siliceous stone is a sedimentary rock that is made predominantly of silica or quartz-like particles. It’s Durable and moderately easy to clean with soft acidic cleaning products.
Some examples of siliceous stone commonly found in the home are granite, slate, sandstone and quartzite.

Calcareous stone

Calcareous stone is made mostly of calcium carbonate. Calcareous stone is sensitive to acidic cleaning solutions and requires different cleaning methods than siliceous stone. Some examples of calcareous stone commonly found in the home include marble, travertine, limestone and onyx.

In day to day cleaning, you should avoid using cleaners such as vinegar and lemon juice. As the stone is made mostly of calcium carbonate using scum and mineral removers like CLR (Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover) should not be used.

It’s important to understand that what may work on one type of stone may not work on another and could even have severe reactions that affect the appearance or texture of your stone.

What type of stone do you have?

It’s necessary to keep records from the original supplier of your stone floors: some of the records you should keep include the type, name and origin of the stone. If you didn’t keep these records, you could always contact the business that installed your stone or contact a Gold Coast professional stone floor restoration company like Marble Everlast.

A significant benefit of hiring a Gold Coast stone restoration company is the peace of mind that you are dealing with professionals that know how to identify your stone type and clean the surface with the correct cleaning chemicals and technique.

Assessing the condition of the stone surface

When cleaning stone surfaces, it’s essential to check the current condition, some of the areas that need assessment include:

• Are the tiles flat, even and level?
• Have any of the tiles been cracked?
• What stone finish has been used? eg Honed or Polished?
• Has the stone been coated with any products?
• Are any of the tiles stained?
• Can you identify what type of stain?
• Has the sealer applied previously worn off?

The answer to these questions will help to form the approach to cleaning your stone floor.
