The five "can'ts" of stone care teach you how to avoid trouble

    Do not rinse directly with water


Natural stone, like natural wood, is a porous material that breathes, so it can easily absorb water or dissolve in water to invade pollution. If the stone absorbs too much water and pollution, it will inevitably cause various stone diseases, such as: cracking, weathering, falling off, floating, spitting yellow, water spots, rust spots, white flowers, matte and other annoying problems. Therefore, the stone should not be washed with water or washed with an over-wet mop.


Do not touch non-neutral items


All stones are resistant to acids and alkalis. For example, acid often causes the oxidation of iron sulfur minerals in granite and produces yellowing, acid will decompose the calcium carbonate contained in marble, resulting in surface erosion, and alkali will also erode the grain boundaries of feldspar and quartz silicide crystals in granite, resulting in grain peeling. Therefore, non-neutral items are the cause of the destruction of the stone mirror.


Do not wax at will


There are many types of wax on the market, including water-based wax, tactile fatty acid wax, oily wax, acrylic wax and so on. These waxes basically contain acid and alkali substances. It will not only block the capillary pores of the stone breathing, but also stain the dust to form wax scale, resulting in yellowing on the surface of the stone. If pedestrians and places with high frequency of goods circulation must be waxed, you must ask a professional maintenance company to guide the use and maintenance of wax.


Do not use non-neutral detergents indiscriminately


In order to achieve a quick cleaning effect, general cleaning contains acid and alkalinity, so if you use a detergent of unknown composition for a long time, it will lose the luster of the stone surface, and the residue of non-neutral agent is the main cause of stone lesions in the future.


Do not cover carpets and debris for a long time


In order to keep the stone breathing smooth, it should be avoided to cover the carpet and sundries on the stone surface for a long time, otherwise the moisture under the stone cannot volatilize through the stone capillaries. If you must lay carpets and pile up sundries, please don't forget to change it often, keep it clean and clean.


Neither hard granite (hardness HRs88-111±4-7) nor soft marble (hardness HRs46-77±3-5) is resistant to long-term damage caused by windblown sand and soil particles.


Therefore, it is necessary to use a dust collector and electrostatic mop from time to time to thoroughly do the dust removal and cleaning work.


It is better to place a division mat at the entrance of the commercial space to filter the sand particles carried by the shoes. It is better to wear slippers after entering the house to reduce the chance of sand and dust wearing down the surface of the stone.


To maintain regularly, maintain the luster, remove dust, and clean it is impossible to keep the bright stone luster unrelenting. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly ask a professional company to send someone to do maintenance and maintenance work for gloss regeneration.


For example, use crystallization solution to recrystallize the marble surface, or use polishing powder to regenerate the luster of the marble or granite surface, or use polishing powder to regenerate the luster of the marble or granite surface, or use a breathable gloss protector, etc. All can keep the stone as new forever.


Contamination should be removed immediately
