Proper care and maintenance can go a long way to preserve the beauty of your natural stone.

Marble, granite, quartz, travertine, and limestone have been popular elements in most interior and exterior spaces because of their unique texture and elegance. They come in different patterns, sizes, and colors; and can be mixed and matched to achieve the perfect look you need.

They are sustainable options to elevate your home’s aesthetic while increasing the value of your property. Unlike artificial materials, natural stones are evidently more durable and resistant to damage. However, it is almost inevitable to completely avoid aesthetic problems when you are not aware of the proper methods of natural stone care. It would be wise to schedule regular maintenance with your trusted natural stone care company.

Marble Tec Systems is a team of experts who have mastered the art of natural stone care and restoration. We have the required knowledge, skills, and tools for all your needs- from cleaning, polishing, sealing, and repair of natural stone surfaces. Our seasoned technicians are more than happy to provide you with advice on how to care for your natural stones.

Why Natural Stone Care is Important

Natural stone care is vital for its longevity. The importance of regular care and maintenance boils down to two important principles: preservation and sanitization.

Regular cleaning with the proper cleaning solution will keep your countertop protected from potential damage. Wiping off spilled drinks on your stone tops can also help preserve sealants- protecting the shine and luster of your natural stone.

Keeping your counter sanitized can help protect it from harsh contaminants. Natural stones, like granite and marble, are incredibly porous, which makes them susceptible to bacterial growth. Sanitizing countertops will remove bacteria and keep areas safe for food preparation and storage.

Natural Stone Care and Maintenance

Natural stones are timeless. Their luxurious appearance sets them apart from other elements inside your home or business space. Unfortunately, that elegant look you love will not stick around forever unless you give your marble countertops the proper natural stone care they need.

With our natural care and restoration services, we can help your natural stone surfaces look just as great as the day they were installed. Our highly-skilled natural stone care Denver experts can provide you with educational resources to help you care for your natural stone surface.

Marble Tec Systems developed these guidelines and tips to get you started on your natural stone care and maintenance routine.

Basic Care

The most effective way to maintain the shine and texture of your natural stone surface is to perform regular basic care and keep your natural stone surface safe from possible damage. There are many factors that can affect the appearance and functionality of your natural stones. Here are some helpful tips to protect your stone surface recommended by trusted natural stone care Denver experts:

  • Use non-slip mats or rugs to protect your natural stone surface.
  • Use trivets or mats under metals or ceramics that can scratch your stone countertops.
  • Dust and sweep materials that can be abrasive to your natural stone surfaces.
  • Remove worn parts from your vacuum cleaners that may scratch your stone floor.
  • Check your natural stone slabs for small holes before installing them.
  • Minimize placement of heavy objects on weaker light-colored stones.
  • Reduce constant heat damage by placing trivets or table mats under hot objects.
  • Avoid putting pressure on natural stones placed on unstable areas, such as the edge of countertops or the stair nosing.
  • Use coasters when putting alcohol or citric juices on your stone countertops.
  • Avoid cleaning with general cleaners containing acidic ingredients. This is harmful to your stone surface.
  • Avoid organic and inorganic oils from coming in contact with unsealed porous stones like limestone, granite, marble, and travertine.

Daily Basic Cleaning

Natural stones are versatile. They can be used on virtually any part of your space–from the ceiling to the floor. Each location in your home and business space encounters different problems; natural stones featured on each corner should be cleaned and maintained differently. 

Here are some essential guidelines for cleaning and maintaining your stone tops from your trusted natural stone care company:

Remove sand and grit from your beautiful stone floors using a non-treated dry mop. For surfaces that are prone to mud and dirt, such as your entrance floors, you may need to do periodic washing using mild cleaners.

Minimize the formation of soap scum by rinsing your walls or floors with water after use. Soap scum can be removed from your bathroom surface using a stone appropriate soap scum remover. Using other types of cleaners may dull your stone surface.

Clean your countertop surfaces with a stone appropriate cleaner that we will recommend. You can avoid soap films by rinsing the surface completely after washing and drying with a clean, soft cloth. Sanitize your natural stone tops using stone-approved disinfectant to prevent germs from crawling inside the stone’s crevices.

Outside stone surfaces are exposed to harsh climates and pollutants. Periodic cleaning is necessary for stone on your walkways, fountains, outdoor pool, etc. Use clean water and a stone appropriate cleaner to remove algae or moss.  

Selecting the right cleaning products depends greatly on the texture, type, and structure of the natural stone in your property. When choosing cleaning products on the market, it is best to consult your local natural stone care and restoration technicians on what product and procedures will work best for the natural stones in your property.

Long-term Protection

You can level up your natural stone care by sealing your stone tops. The type of stone, finish, location, and maintenance is needed to determine whether a natural stone surface may need extra protection. Consult a reliable natural stone care and restoration specialist on whether the natural stone in your property may need to be treated.

If it is necessary to seal your stone surfaces, it is best to understand the differences between the types of sealing solutions available on the market:

  • Topical Sealers – These are coating films designed to sit on top of stone surfaces but not penetrate them. Generally, topical sealers are used to maintain the original seal applied on natural stones. They are not recommended to be used outside as they can trap moisture that can lead to the stone’s deterioration after the cold season.
  • Impregnating Sealers – These can be water- or solvent-based solutions that penetrate natural stone surfaces. They can repel water-borne and oil-based contaminants, making them the best option for protecting your natural stone surfaces from staining and etching.

Marble Tec Systems only uses high-quality and effective sealers to protect the natural finish of your stone surfaces. We use MORE™ AntiEtch™ coating solution to stop stains, etch, and discoloration from spoiling the beauty of your natural stone.
