Stone flooring is easy to clean and take care of. It reduces allergies, dander, and much more. To give it a high-gloss shine, though, you have to take it up just a notch. Here are the easiest ways to give your stone flooring the glossy finish it deserves.
Follow a Cleaning Cycle
Get into a regular cleaning routine for your stone flooring. Not only does this optimize the overall shine on your floor, but it also reduces the overall work you would have to do. You don’t have to scrub it down every day. On the contrary, fill a spray bottle with equal parts water to white vinegar. Spraying every few feet in front of you as you mop up behind, do this until your entire floor shines. You should only need to lightly mop your stone flooring every few days after you do this.
Give it a Deep Clean
When it’s time to give the stone flooring a good, deep clean, get a bucket of warm water. Only add one or two drops of a mild dish soap. Adding too much soap can actually attract dirt to your floors, so always remember, less is more. In small areas along the floor, dip your mop into the bucket. Take a microfiber cloth to buff the floor dry for each small area you mop.
Be Wary of What Walks Through
Dirt, bugs, and all sorts of other microscopic creatures come inside on your shoes every day. Minimize your stone floor’s damage as a result of this by putting floor mats at all doorways. If you take off your shoes at the floor mat, you can avoid a variety of surface problems, for the most part, including those irritating marks and scuffs on the floor.
