Stone surfaces are a wow factor for any home. But as stone surfaces are porous liquids, dirt, grime and other substances easily settle into the pores of the surface. To keep the “wow factor” your stone surface started with regular cleaning is required, so it’s good practice to clean your stone surface every week.

Common Stone Types

Granite

Granite is the most common igneous rock found on the earth surface. It’s a coarse-grained igneous rock made of quartz and feldspars with small amounts of other materials. Granite is commonly used for benchtops, pavers, curbing, stair treads, building veneer and cemetery stonework.

Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock that has physically and chemically transformed due to intense heat and pressure. Marble is commonly limestone that recrystallised through this process, and the veining throughout marble are mineral deposits that settled during the transformation.

Cobblestone

Cobblestones are river rocks used for paving and outdoor applications. The round, smooth edges are created as running water, and smaller rocks erode the stone surface. They are often a highly durable stone such as basalt and granite and have been used for roadways, driveways and footpaths for centuries.

Travertine

Travertine is a type of limestone deposited by mineral springs and limestone caves. It is made from a chemical mixture high in calcium carbonate that sets, compresses and forms what we know as travertine.

Sandstone

Sandstone is a type of rock made mostly from sand and other sediments, formed over centuries in lakes, rivers and the ocean floor. Sandstone is commonly used for outdoor pavers, poolside areas, retaining walls, kitchens, bathrooms and decorative applications.

Limestone

Limestone like sandstone, is a sedimentary rock and varies in density. It is mostly calcium carbonate which forms from the solidification of chemical solutions. As the chemicals in limestone are mainly calcium carbonate, limestone has a chemical reaction with acidic cleaning products and is damaged.
