Selection and cleaning and maintenance of stone for home bathrooms

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people are more and more pursuing luxury decoration in home decoration, and gradually a large number of natural stone has become a fashion in home decoration, and its application range has gradually expanded to the decoration of toilets and bathrooms.

The choice of stone for the bathroom

Due to the different concepts and preferences of home owners, and the diversity of stone varieties and the ever-changing texture, the use of bathroom stone in the color material is very varied, including marble, limestone, granite, sandstone, slate, quartz stone and so on. However, usually the bathroom stone is mainly used marble and granite. (However, due to concerns about the radioactivity of granite, the use of granite has begun to decline.) ）

Nowadays, people generally like to use plain or solid color or simple texture stone to decorate the floor and wall of the bathroom, and use richly textured marble to decorate the countertop of the washstand, which can add a bit of elegant atmosphere to the bathroom.

Marble is also called metamorphosis or recrystallized limestone. True marble is a metamorphic rock of calcite with a crystalline structure. Marble is mostly derived from limestone through geological changes, and its main components are calcite and calcium carbonate, with a hardness value of about 4.5 on the Mohs scale. Therefore, its disadvantage is that it is softer, acid and alkali resistance, poor weathering resistance, easy to absorb oil, water and other liquids and be polluted, easy to be scratched, not wear-resistant, and almost all acid-alkali cleaning wattles and stains will cause damage to the marble, stay a little longer, so that the marble is damaged and lose its luster.

Therefore, the marble used in the bathroom should be made of harder and denser materials, and try to avoid using marble with soft materials and high water absorption. Bathroom marble is better to choose polished surface processing, and before use to do protective treatment, so that can better protect the stone, but also easy to clean, and marble paving is suitable for the use of vertical surface paving. Light-colored stone is more resistant to slight soapy water contamination than dark-colored stone, so it is recommended not to use green serpentine and black marble in bathrooms and bathrooms, so that the stone surface is less likely to be contaminated.

Cleaning and maintenance of bathroom stones
