Know Your Stones • Siliceous Stones: Some stones contain Silica, which is the main component of sands, so those are referring as Siliceous Stones. • Calcareous Stone: Some stones have Calcites or Calcium Carbonate as chief mineral, so known as Calcareous Stones. • .
For Exterior Floor Surfaces: • Apply cleaning practices described in general cleaning section regularly. For Exterior Countertop Surfaces: • Barbeque and exterior tables/desks countertops are the most used areas where chances are high for staining, spilling, heat damaging, and scratching due to complicated activities of food preparations. For Other Surfaces: • Exterior walls, open stairsteps, window sills, and myriads of other large to small surfaces laid or cladded with natural stones are demanding regular attention of cleaners. Dry dust removal and wet/water washing are useful to avoid rapid wear and tear.
There are varying types of staining takes place on stone surfaces due to different causes. Let’s identify causes of stains first so we can take precautionary steps in advance. • Organic Stains • Inorganic Stains • Oil-based Stains • Biological Flora-based Stains • Ink Stains
Washing detergents and mineral spirits or acetone are best solutions to remove oil-based stains. • On siliceous stones, you can apply diluted hydrogen peroxide solutions directly on the organic stains. • For calcareous stones, you have to apply only a mild detergent/soap solution or warm water to remove the stone, not any acid-based mixture at all.
