In luxury home design, Natural stones since time immemorial have stood for timeless elegance and beauty. Whether it’s the smooth sophistication of marble or the rugged charm of granite, these surfaces lend a touch of opulence to any space. However, keeping them in their pristine condition requires more than just the occasional wipe-down. To ensure their longevity, it’s essential to follow a comprehensive prevention and maintenance routine tailored to the unique characteristics of each stone type.

Understanding the nuances of different stone varieties is an essential pre-requisite for successful maintenance.

Marble: Known for its luxurious appearance, marble is prone to staining due to its porous nature. Proper sealing is essential to protect its surface from harm.

Granite: With its durability and resistance to scratching, granite is a popular choice for countertops and flooring. Different types of surface finishes add to its character but also make it more open.

Limestone: Rich in appearance, limestone adds warmth to any space. However, its sensitivity to acidic substances means it requires special care for protection and during cleaning.

Engineered Stone: These are increasingly becoming a popular choice due to their hardness and non-porous nature. However, with time they are prone to staining and can be protected using a suitable impregnation sealer.

Once you’ve identified the type of stone in your home, it’s time to arm yourself with the right tools for the job. Here are some essentials:

Non-Acidic Cleaner: Choose a pH Neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone to avoid damaging its delicate surface.

Microfiber Cloth: Opt for a soft, non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe away dirt and grime without scratching.

Sealer Applicator: For porous stones like marble and limestone, a sealer applicator is indispensable for maintaining a protective barrier against stains.

With the proper tools in hand, it’s time to dive into your maintenance routine:

Sweep Away Loose Dirt: Start by removing loose dust with a soft broom to prevent scratches during cleaning.

Damp Cloth or Mop: Use a dampened microfiber cloth or mop and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner to gently cleanse the surface.

Wipe Down Surfaces: Pay close attention to high-traffic areas and any spills or stains, taking care to blot rather than rub to avoid spreading the mess.

By incorporating these practices into your regular cleaning routine, you can ensure that your natural stone surfaces remain as stunning as the day they were installed. Remember, a little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty and longevity of these timeless treasures.

High quality sealers protect your stone from different types of stains, erosion and wear. We strongly recommend the use of Protectguard MG, a powerful stain repellent especially designed to protect marble, granite, and other low-porosity materials against common causes of degradation. It effectively repels water, oils, grease, and general dirt and grime to help maintain the beauty for long time especially for floors.

Our cleaners help remove tough dirt and stains on a wide range of surfaces. Guard Remover Eco  is a versatile cleaner and degreaser which required no neutralisation. It is compatible with the products in our sealer range and can be used for maintenance as it helps in quick and efficient removal of dirt and grime from the sealed surface. Any greasy or oily stains present on raw stone slab before application of sealer can also be efficiently cleaned.
