Gentle Cleaning for Daily Maintenance: Daily maintenance is key to preserving the beauty of your natural stone surfaces. Use a soft cloth or mop and a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for stone to avoid damaging the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners, acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar, and anything containing ammonia, as they can etch the stone surface over time. Promptly blot up spills to prevent them from seeping into the stone's pores.
Protecting Your Stone: Prevent physical damage to your stone surfaces by using coasters under glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Use trivets under hot dishes to prevent heat damage, and dust mop floors frequently to remove debris that could scratch the stone. Placing rugs or mats at entrances can help catch dirt and prevent it from scratching your stone surfaces.
Conclusion: By adopting these simple care practices, you can ensure that your natural stone surfaces remain as stunning as the day they were installed, enhancing the beauty and value of your home for years to come.
