Sealing 

Stone / Floors / Counters

1. Why Should I Have My Stone Sealed?
Stone by nature is somewhat or even very porous and unless it is sealed, will continue to absorb water, oil and dirt. Sealing of the stone will make maintenance easy by protecting the material from absorbing water and oil based stains and ensure years of beauty, if maintained properly.

2. What Do I Use To Clean My Stone?
Mild Cleaners are bestCleaners that contain acid, strong alkali or bleach should never be used for regular maintenance. Any type of acidic cleaner even a light solution of vinegar and water will etch and damage the stone when used for a prolonged period of time. Continued use of acidic cleaners will also break down the grout in floor installations.

3. What Cleaner Do You Recommend To Clean My Stone?
A neutral cleaner is recommended for daily use. Revitalizer cleaner is a  concentrated non-acidic cleaner. It is completely safe for every day use and when used on a regular basis will preserve the beautiful look of the floor. Revitalizer can be used on glazed and unglazed tile, natural stone, porcelain tile, and sealed Mexican tile as well. One capful is added to a gallon of water. It is important to use a clean towel or mop to clean the floor otherwise dirt is pushed into the grout and you will get dirt build-up on top of the stain.

Floors / Counters Cleaned & Sealed
If you have stone floors/counters then no doubt they are special to you and you want to maintain them.
We recommend sealing granite, travertine, etc. when the installation is new as this will prevent staining.
For maintenance we recommend pre-cleaning, drying, then applying a specially formulated stone sealer of the best quality. If you do this every two years and avoid serious abrasion and scratches, no other professional maintenance should be required.
