Limestone Cleaning
- Things To Know
2
Only Use Limestone Cleaning Products

• Certain products can permanently damage the color
  and texture of your limestone. Never use products
  that contain bleach as they can cause light spots
  and drops on the stone.

3
Use Soft Cloths

• Use clothes rather than paper towels to clean
  your limestone surface. This is especially
  important if you have unfinished or unpolished
  limestone.

4
Never Use Metal Tools

• Never use metal cleaning tools in limestone
  cleaning. You may be tempted to use steel wool on
  a stubborn stain, but metal cleaning tools will
  scratch the surface and ruin the stone's patina.

5
Use a Poultice

• Limestone is a very porous stone, which can make
  the cleaning process easier. Because the pores
  are large, you can use a poultice to reabsorb the
  stain. The poultice is made from baking soda or
  powdered hydrogen peroxide and distilled water.
  It is applied to the surface of the stain and
  left to sit overnight. When the poultice dries it
  will absorb the stain and can then be brushed
  away.

6
Daily Care

• Clean limestone daily by sweeping up dirt and
  other debris to prevent scratches from forming.
  Use a soft bristled broom to prevent nicks and
  grazes in the stone. Lightly mop with plain water
  or a special formulated limestone cleaner twice a
  week for maintenance. 

7

• When cleaning the floor, it is important to use a
  neutral PH cleaner and to avoid contact with any
  acid based cleaning agents which can etch the
  surface of the limestone and bleaches should also
  never be used as they can actually stain or
  discolour the floo
