Marble Everlast can offer advise as well as a professional service in the cleaning and restoring of your Outdoor Stone. A number of common exterior stone that we work on are Travertine, Sandstone, Terracotta, Marble and Granite. These appear typically in the form of swimming pool pavers or simply occupying around the exteriors of a household.

Unlike the other Stone Restoration services we provide. Outdoor Stone Cleaning is one that can be done by yourself given the correct guidance is adhered to. Although a number of factors could hinder you from tackling the job. One is being time. You may be tied down to a busy working and/or parental lifestyle, there may not be enough hours in the day to get your Outdoor Stone cleaned. Secondly, the task may just be too vast. Anything over 100 square metres of Exterior Stone tiles is extensive hard labour, which goes hand in hand with the factor of machinery/ equipment. If you do not have the correct tools and machinery aids, a large scale outdoor cleaning job can become one long and strenuous ordeal.

Stone Mould Removal

If you recognise a build up of mould or algae, it is probably time for clean. Outdoor Stone is too often neglected and will become a product of the effects the environment has to offer. What once was a bright attractive feature of your property is now either dirty and discoloured and no longer a pleasant sight.

Stone Staining Removal

Staining can be a result of poor maintenance, unsealed tiles and quite simply put, water penetrates the stone and is left to do its damage. Other staining can come from bacteria build up or quite easily from tree leaves and soil contaminants. In some cases the Outdoor stone will require high pressure cleaning with a strong chemical or abrasive agitation. More extreme damage such as etching and discoloured marks that have seeped into the stone will require Honing.

Anti Bacterial Stone Treatment

There isIn all of our Outdoor Stone cleans we provide an anti-bacterial treatment to prevent the growth of mould and other environmental bacteria that masks the beauty of your Stone. This will help prevent your Outdoor tiles from future bacteria build up in conjunction with adhering to our care and maintenance protocols. In short there is good bacteria and there is bad bacteria. The ones accumulating in your Outdoor Stone is not good. Our Marble Everlast team will give your Outdoor Stone a defensive barrier to these unpleasantries.

Here are a few of our suggestions to maintaining your Outdoor Stone…

1. Brush away or sweep up any leaves or soil in dry conditions:
   Doing this will prevent the rain in conjunction with the leaves and soil from causing dirt accumulation and staining.
2. Hose down your Outdoor Stone tiles on a regular basis
   Having outdoor Stone tiles requires maintenance just like grass requires mowing. This is one maintenance protocol that should be done at least once or twice a month depending on the season.
3.  Use plant pots aids such as feet risers or base containers
   Water can lie stagnant beneath a plant pot which will result in trapped moisture, a breeding ground for mould/algae build up and staining as the byproduct.
4. Clean with a purposeful stone cleaner
   If you decide to give your Outdoor Stone a clean it is imperative to use a cleaner that is suitable for a natural porous surface. Using the wrong cleaner with incorrect procedures can result in possible damage.

What can cause your Outdoor Stone tiles to become dirty?

All stone is susceptible to degradation over time but degradation will occur much sooner if the stone is neglected. Especially Natural Stone exposed to the elements of environment.

1. Rain is naturally on the acidic side of the ph scale. Natural Stone and acid do not go well together, therefore if you are not properly maintaining your Outdoor Stone on a regular basis, it will become harder to clean.
2. Wind can also blow and allow pollutants from the air to settle and cause a dirt build up on the surface. Eventually the dirt will penetrate the barrier and much quicker if the Outdoor Stone is not or has not been sealed in a long time.
3. Leaves from trees can cause discolouring to the stone and well as Algae build up from garden pots, plant beds and surrounding soil. Any stone that is porous will begin to stain, discolour and become a breading ground for bacteria resulting in mould and/or algae growth.
