Expert tips to ensure your stone floor has a mirror-like shine always.
Introduction
Many commercial facilities opt for stone (marble, granite, limestone, and so on) for flooring. Stone is durable, timeless, available in an array of colours and textures, naturally cool, hygienic, and last but not the least affordable. However, it still demands regular cleaning and care to avoid looking dull and pale.
Moreover, floors of commercial establishments receive significant footfall and are prone to get dirty often by food spills, mud, and dust. Luckily, keeping stone floors shiny and clean in a commercial space isn’t a terrible ordeal. All you need to ensure is to follow the tips below to retain the shine for long.
Tip #1] Clean spills as soon as possible
Letting the spill stay for long on a natural stone floor increases the chances of the floor becoming stained. Blot out the spill instead of wiping it to avoid the spill from spreading on the floor.
Tip #2] Use appropriate cleaners
Avoid using cleaners containing abrasives, bleach, or ammonia. They adversely affect the longevity of stone floorings. Opt for gentle cleaning products, such as Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner. It is a fully formulated cleaner-cum-disinfectant that kills 99.9% of all pathogenic bacteria and removes stubborn stains. It is safe for use on marble and granite and is very effective in all water conditions. Moreover, it emanates a refreshing fragrance and repels flies.
Tip #3] Protect with a sealant
Natural stones are porous. So, it is necessary to use sealants to keep sand, dirt, and grit away from getting inside the stone through pores. Natural stones differ from each other. Marble and Indian stone often require resealing. It is best to consult professionals to know how frequently your stone floor needs to have the sealant applied often.
Tip #4] Vacuum regularly
Vacuuming is critical because it removes dust that scratches the floor and ruins its protective coating, dulling it and damaging it easily. Additionally, it could trigger allergies in your guests and employees.
Tip #5] Be careful with furniture
Avoid dragging the furniture on the floor. Such practice might cause wear, tear, and scratching of the natural stone floor. It is best to use protective pads on the furniture. Alternatively, lift the furniture when moving it.
Tip #6] Schedule deep cleaning quarterly
Deep cleaning is different from regular cleaning. It involves floor treatment or the use of advanced cleaning equipment to ensure that your stone floor is in great condition.
Tip #7] Polish the floor with Crew High Gloss Marble Polish
Use Crew High Gloss Marble Polish to protect calcareous stone floors, such as marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx. It can also be used on Jura limestone floor and Jaisalmer stone.
This polish offers superior benefits like:
- Removes dirt
- Reduces water and dirt penetrability
- Ensures spotless, sparkling, and shiny floor
- Increases contour acuity
- Improves the natural appearance of the stone floor
- Builds slip resistance
- Requires minimal effort
Directions for use:
- Take 3 parts of Crew High Gloss Marble Polish and 2 parts of water. Mix them to form a homogeneous mixture.
- Apply the homogeneous paste and moisten the affected area.
- Use a single disc machine with a red pad to evenly apply the mixture on the affected area for 3-4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, dilute the paste with water. Pick it all up with a wet vacuum cleaner.
- Once the floor is dry use a single disc machine with a soft white pad to buff the floor.
Note: If the floor surface is spoiled with scratches, hone the affected area with a Twister extreme red pad for 2 minutes. Vacuum off the excess liquid.
To sum up
With these tips, you can make sure your floor keeps looking shiny as new. Switch to Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner for regular cleaning and Crew High Gloss Marble Polish to polish the floor’s surface.
