Did you know that one of the leading causes of scuffing on polished stone can be traced to sneakers? Poorly made sneakers, particularly those with black bottoms, tend to actually rub off on stone. If you have children who enjoy running around the house, this can mean that your beautiful polished stone floors can really take a beating during the colder winter days. And, the more sneaker scuff marks you have on stone, the harder it is to refurbish and clean your flooring. Here’s the run-through on stone floor cleaning, and why it’s best to hire a professional.
Why hire stone restoring professionals?
- Stone floors, according to most experts, will need to be buffed and cleaned at least once a month if they are in areas that have high traffic. In low traffic areas, many experts still insist that they are cleaned once every 3 to 6 months. Either way, regular maintenance is a must for those who want to keep their floors looking great year after year.
- Floors that are not cleaned regularly often have more wear and tear problems than those that have been maintained. This can reduce the price of your home, if you are looking to sell it sooner rather than later.
- Regular cleaning of stone floors is also a sanitation must. A good cleaning will help prevent the buildup of germs and mold that can potentially cause family members to get sick.
- It’s very possible to use the wrong methods or cleaning detergents when trying to remove scuff marks. The wrong methods of cleaning a floor can actually cause serious damage that is difficult to undo in certain cases. For example, using too caustic a substance on marble flooring can actually eat away at the marble, and also remove the protective gloss that covers it.
- Most families will try to clean and polish stone floors themselves, but that’s a lot of work, and often demands a lot of equipment you may not have. This results in stone floors that are either damaged by use of the wrong chemicals, or just not properly cleaned.
