Learn How Limestone Maintenance Can Help Prevent Damage and the Need for Costly Repairs

Required activities on a daily basis to maintain limestone

The activities listed below should be carried out on a daily basis if your building has interior limestone. First, it is important to clean up any spills as soon as you see them in order to prevent etching or staining. Keep in mind that any amount of water that is left to stand for an extended period of time can leave a stain behind.

You may remove the tiny grit from your limestone floors by using a dust mop. This helps to prevent the need to scratch. Doormats should be used both inside and outside the home to cut down on the amount of grit and dirt that is tracked onto the marble floor. It is important to avoid placing anything warm or moist immediately on the stone.

At a minimum once every year, have your limestone surface sealed. Do not use any other type of cleaner save one that is designed exclusively for limestone. First and foremost, you should never clean limestone using anything that is abrasive or acidic.
