A Maintenance Guide for Natural Stone

Stone Floor Maintenance Guide: Daily and Deep Cleaning

Proper maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and longevity of your stone floors. Routine cleaning, supported by occasional deep cleaning, ensures your limestone, marble, travertine and other natural stone surfaces stay looking their best.

Daily Cleaning

For everyday maintenance, use a pH-neutral cleaner — it’s safe for both the stone and the sealer.

How to clean daily:
1️⃣ Sweep or Vacuum
Remove dust and grit to prevent scratching. Avoid vacuums with a beater bar.

2️⃣ Mop with pH-neutral cleaner
A great option: Easy Clean

Use the recommended dose — using more can cause residue build-up.

3️⃣ Dry the floor
Wipe away excess moisture to prevent water marks or potential staining.

💡 Tip: Always follow the product instructions for correct dilution and use.

Deep Cleaning

For stubborn dirt, grease or high-traffic areas, use an alkaline cleaner to break down build-up that daily cleaners can’t remove.

A strong option: Extreme Clean

How to deep clean:
1️⃣ Sweep or vacuum
2️⃣ Mix alkaline cleaner correctly
3️⃣ Mop and allow dwell time
4️⃣ Gently scrub stubborn areas using a soft-bristle brush
5️⃣ Rinse with clean water
6️⃣ Dry thoroughly

💡 Tips:
• Always follow product instructions for correct dilution and use.
• A long-handle grout brush (easily found on Amazon) makes grout cleaning easier and saves you from scrubbing on your hands and knees.

What to Avoid

🚫 Acidic Cleaners
Vinegar, lemon juice and acidic bathroom/kitchen cleaners can etch, dull and permanently damage stone.

🚫 Excessive Water
Stone is porous — too much water may seep into grout or the stone, leading to staining or mould.

🚫 Abrasive Scrubbers
Steel wool or rough pads can scratch the surface — always use soft microfiber cloths, mops, or brushes.
