Stone Care Products Warning!

Sealed Walkway

Warning about stone care products: “Do research first,” cautions Larry Fuller, a 20 year veteran stone care expert and founder of Fuller Stone Care.  Many household cleaning products can damage marble or other natural stone, which can lead to unnecessary restoration cost.

Larry says that lots of these cleaning product companies make claims that are misleading or they make promises claiming that their product will remove stains, water marks or reduce dullness and scratching.

If you check our website; fullerstonecare.com, we offer many tips and tricks to maintain your investment and to prevent restoration cost.

If you have just purchased a new stone floor, Larry advises homeowners to make sure the marble or whatever type of natural stone is sealed upon installation.  It’s not uncommon for a new natural stone installation to be installed without a protective seal, leaving it immediately vulnerable to stains and etches.  After installation,  plan a regular routine of daily cleaning which we have clearly outlined for you in: http://marblecleaninghermosabeach.com/southbay/.  We also previously wrote an article about how to test your floors sealant in our blog.   Redoing a Previously Sealed Surface

An example of poor maintenance:  to apply multiple coats of wax. What a mess!  As the coatings build up it becomes soft, and dirt is easily embedded in the soft layer.  These coatings require frequent stripping which is often neglected, but the best maintenance you can do.

A great idea is to have Fuller Stone Care maintain your natural stone floors on a regular basis.  In the meantime, use our specially designed product “Natural Stone Cleaner and Conditioner” and continue to maintain your investment for perfection.
