The first major error in the article is where the instruct you to clean with a “non-abrasive industrial detergents.” True the stone cleaner should be non-abrasive but that is not the whole story. Improper routine maintenance in cleaning marble and travertine floors is the single greatest cause of marble and travertine degradation. Our great Tile and Grout cleaning Friendswood 77546 technicians are standing by waiting for you. More marble and travertine is damaged by improper care and maintenance than any other influencing factor, including stone quality. These maintenance oversights include:

Wet mopping is the single largest cause of “fill” loss, spalling (physical deterioration and pitting of the stone caused by water), and microbial growth (dark discoloration in pits, crevasses, and grout lines). Marble floors should NEVER be wet mopped with a string mop (or any other type, for that matter) – they should be swept frequently and thoroughly and damp-mopped with a sponge or microfiber mop, only.

Every time moisture penetrates the surface of your marble, it has both a physical and chemical affect on the stone – both are negative. A good Tile and Grout cleaning Friendswood 77546  is standing by the phone waiting for you. Wet stone expands, drying stone contracts. Multiple cycles of expansion and contraction weaken both stone and fill areas, resulting in pitting and fill loss. Do you remember when your teacher called water the “universal solvent”? Enough said.

I never cease to be amazed at the varied number and types of cleaning chemicals people (and their professional cleaning personnel) use on their marble floors. I’ve seen everything from vinegar and water. Recently we even had a client inform us that she read on the Internet that “cheap vodka” is a favored method of cleaning stone floors.  

The article also suggests you may apply a thin layer of wax for maximum protection. This is some of the very worst advice you could follow. The article cited is replete with bad information and just a sample of the misinformation that is on the Internet. Many of our Tile and Grout cleaning Friendswood 77546 will be able to help you anytime. In addition if you were to apply a wax coating or topical sealer stripping it off can become very costly. If your travertine or marble floor cleaning process is not effective you are bound to require some level of resurfacing performed by a competent professional.
