Natural stone floors are an investment in beauty and value. Between professional cleanings, proper daily maintenance preserves their appearance and extends the life of protective sealers.
Daily Maintenance Essentials
- Dust mop daily to remove abrasive particles that scratch surfaces
- Clean spills immediately, especially acidic liquids like juice or wine
- Use doormats to reduce tracked-in debris
- Avoid dragging furniture across stone surfaces
Weekly Cleaning Routine
Weekly damp mopping with a pH-neutral stone cleaner removes buildup without damaging sealers. Avoid vinegar, ammonia, and acidic cleaners that etch and dull stone surfaces.
