Stone care mainly refers to the restoration of the original appearance of stone materials after they have suffered from weathering or deterioration due to environmental factors, human activities, or the stone itself, using chemical methods. This process is known as stone renovation.
Generally, stone materials may experience issues such as gloss wear due to water infiltration, pollution, and weathering. At this point, professional care is required. The following aspects typically need to be addressed:
1. Water Infiltration and Pollution on Stone Exteriors: Wipe with water; no other cleaning agents are necessary.
2. Prevention of Water Stains: Use a multifunctional protective agent or a dedicated stone protective agent before construction.
3. Treatment of Efflorescence: Apply protective treatment to the stone surface and enhance the waterproofing of the grouting sections.
4. Treatment of Rust Stains: Use a powerful remover that effectively eliminates rust stains without damaging the stone. It's best to apply protective treatment before installation.
5. Treatment of Dirt Stains: Choose an appropriate stone-specific cleaning agent for effective removal.
6. Treatment of Wax Residue: Use a wax remover that effectively cleans the surface and capillaries of the stone without harming its gloss. After removing the wax, apply a multifunctional protective agent.
7. Treatment of Yellowing (Coconut Rope Yellow): Use a multifunctional remover, followed by protective products to effectively prevent yellowing from occurring again.
8. Treatment of Wear: Apply a stone maintenance agent for surface treatment and perform surface protection regularly.
Stone is a fashionable and luxurious decorative building material, and its maintenance methods are quite unique. Only stone-specific cleaning agents should be used for cleaning, as ordinary cleaning agents not only fail to achieve the desired results but may also leave some fluorides in the stone, damaging it. Consumers are advised to use professional cleaning agents for stone care.
