'One of the key things to remember about natural stone is that it’s porous so sealing will protect it from stains and keep it looking its best for years to come.' 'Once your stone floor is clean, you should protect it from water and staining with a specialist stone floor sealer. Ideally, finish with either a specialist stone floor wax or - for a more durable surface on high foot traffic areas - a specialist protective coating.'Ĭolin Roby-Welford, creative director at Fired Earth agrees that a stone floor should be sealed to keep it looking good. 'If you're working with new stone,' says Morris. It's important to protect your stone, particularly in a high-traffic or area of high humidity. Once you've banished dust and grit you can move to the next stage of cleaning your stone floor. 'Scratches will be much more visible and worn out vacuum heads can cause lots of damage,' they say. In fact, the experts at Beswick Stone advise against vacuuming if the floor is made of dark stone or slate. You'll need to make sure the vacuum cleaner itself is in good condition and that there is no risk of the stone floor being damaged by worn, rough-edged wheels and attachments. Most stone surfaces can be brushed with a soft brush, or gently vacuumed with the correct hard floor attachment. The first stage of cleaning a stone floor is to dry clean the surface to remove any loose dust, sand or grit.
Prevention is far better than cure when you're cleaning old stone floors. Brush or vacuum off salt efflorescence never use water.' As Bryan Williamson says, 'It stains easily and can be damaged even by water. Take particular care if you're going to clean marble. Whatever you're using, it's important to test clean a small area of stone first. If necessary, work gently using a non-acidic cleaner, such as washing soda, a soft scrubbing brush or mop and clean water, but never soak the floor.' ‘Avoid over-cleaning it as this will destroy the patina of age which gives the floor its character. If yours is an old stone floor, Bryan Williamson, of restoration builders Bryan Williamson & Daughters, has some important advice.
