As a relatively high-grade building material, stone needs to be maintained and treated from time to time. Whether it is a new stone or a refurbished stone, the stone will be worn more or less as time goes by. At this time, professional care of the stone is required. In general, there are several ways to care the stone.
Clean water cleaning
Clean water cleaning is an effective and inexpensive method. However, it is worth noting that when cleaning the stone with clean water, it is necessary to pay great attention to the amount of water which is used. If the water is not used properly, it will cause water spots on the stone.
Surface brightener care
Stone surface brighteners can also be used in the daily care of stone, but this lightening effect varies from stone to stone and is limited.
Surface cleaning care
In daily life, there are always some shells, footprints and dust on the surface of the stone in a hotel. These debris will not only affect the appearance of the stone, but also affect the gloss of the stone's surface. Therefore, it is necessary to clean these debris in time.
Surface antiskid care
Whether it is ceramic tile or stone, it will face the antiskid problem on its surface, and the antiskid problem is related to safety of family members. Therefore, the water on the stone's surface must be cleaned in time, and the antiskid property of the stone's surface should be improved.
Surface waxing care
Waxing the surface of the stone is a relatively traditional caring method. The advantage of waxing is that the price is low and it's easy to wax the stone. However, we need to pay attention to some matters. For example, liquid wax should be used for waxing the floor instead of solid wax, because solid wax will make the stone slippery, causing people to fall easily.
Protection treatment
Generally speaking, a stone protective agent will be applied to the stone used for decoration, and it can protect the stone from being harmed by pollutants in a certain period of time, prolonging the service life of the stone.
Surface crystallization care
The crystallization care of the stone's surface not only improves the surface decoration effect of the stone, but also improves the decorative level of the stone. Therefore, it is widely used in stone care. Surface crystallization care has the following advantages.
Not only improve hardness of the stone, but also improve wear resistance of the stone's surface.
- Improve gloss and appearance of the stone's surface.
- Improve anti-slip and anti-staining properties of the stone's surface to some extent.
