When it comes to tile and grout cleaning, natural stone surfaces are as different from ceramic tile and grout as apples are from oranges. Most natural stone, which includes marble, travertine, slate, and limestone – are soft and porous. Man-made ceramic tile is much tougher and can receive a one-time restoration that will protect the porous grout for the next 10 years. However, natural stone surfaces need more pampering.
After the initial installation of natural stone or any restoration project, don’t forget about your investment. We recommend giving your beautiful natural stone an annual or biannual maintenance call. Whether it is just a pH-neutral maintenance clean, or add a single step finishing diamond polish and seal, you should make sure that your natural stone tiles and grout receive their well-deserved spa day.
