The use of natural stone and tile is on the rise all over the world. Every store that sells stone and tile also has a section dedicated to the selling of care and maintenance product to clean and care for the surface, however many of them do not know the first thing about cleaning and maintenance.
Many customers who install stone assume that it is a product that does not need maintenance or care. But after stone or tile is installed that is when permanent damage occurs do to the neglect or wrong cleaning methods.
Stone, tile and grout needs conditioning, cleaning, protection, and sometimes restoration. These process help you to keep the look that you started with in the first place. The first thing you must do after installing your stone or tile is to have walk off matting. Every entry to the house should have a outside mat that is rough enough to remove mud, soil and other debris and the inside mat should be absorbent and can remove any moisture. It is important to keep the entry area swept and clean from all debris.
Stone and tile require a daily routine of sweeping or dust mopping that keeps the dust and grit from accumulating. In some cases such as non filled travertine or tile with grout you may want to use a hard surface vacuum to help eliminate the dry soil. On a weekly basis your stone or tile should be wet or damp mopped with a neutral detergent.
When the mopping procedure no longer produce the results your looking for then that is when having your stone, tile and grout cleaned by a professional is required. We here at Coast Carpet Cleaning usually recommend every other year but in some cases the floor may need a yearly cleaning due to a high amounts of traffic going through the home. It is also recommended that after cleaning your floor by a professional that you have your floor sealed. Sealing your floor will help protect your stone or grout from absorbing a spill. Stone and grout are porous and therefore allow spills to soak in faster if not sealed. Floors get dirty after time if not properly maintained and professionally cleaned on some kind of maintenance program.
If your stone or grout are not maintained then you may have to go to a restoration process and the cost go up extremely. So, call us or visit our schedule page and get on a maintenance schedule today!
