Polished limestone floors can be challenging to keep clean and retain the shine.
Over time the surface starts to wear, lose its polish, and get grimy.
So the tiles will need a lot of work, to restore the original finish.
Many people do not realise that cleaning alone can result in a loss of shine.
You should not use standard floor cleaning chemicals for cleaning natural stone, like Limestone.
Conventional floor cleaning chemicals contain ingredients that damage Limestone.
Because, over time.
The Limestone will lose its shine.
The Limestone will become porous and absorb soil.
The surface of the Limestone will become rough and challenging to clean.
The floor doesn’t get attacked only from cleaning chemicals.
Many chemicals in your kitchen and bathroom are acidic.
Acidic chemicals like vinegar, lemon juice and most liquid hand soaps,
will dissolve Limestone, leaving ugly etch marks.
As well as suffering from chemical damage, Limestone also suffers from mechanical damage.
Most Limestones are relatively soft stone compared to hard stones like granite.
This means that grit from foot traffic will scuff and scratch the surface of the stone.
My client removed all doors from the work area before we arrived.
I started by protecting the walls and adjoining floors from slurry splashes.
Limestone Cleaning and restoration work is dependant on the condition of a floor and the amount of lippage.
The lippage, the difference in height between adjoining tiles, was generally below 1mm, which is very good, and quite unusual.
The floor was generally in good shape. There were no deep scratches. Deep scratches are usually the result of dragging furniture across a floor.
There were lots of small scratches consistent with foot traffic.
As the floor was not badly scratched and had minimal lippage, we did not need to grind the floor to achieve a high-quality finish.
So we started by honing the floor with 100 grit diamond tooling.
This took most of the rest of the first day. We finished off by cleaning areas of dirty grout around the cooker and the sink using a rotary scrubbing machine and 800 grit honing powder.
On the second day, I honed the floor with 200 grit, 400 grit and 800 grit diamonds, giving a lovely smooth light sheen finish.
We then honed an area of the floor to a 1500 grit, polished finish, so that our client could choose her preferred finish. After some deliberation, she decided on the 1500 grit finish, finished off with limestone polishing powder.
Once the floor was rinsed and dried, we applied a high-quality impregnating sealer.
Our client was delighted with the finish on her floor.
The Limestone now has a silky gloss finish.
Mopping is so much easier, because the mop glides over the smooth finish.
Before leaving, I gave clear guidance on maintaining the Limestone. The correct limestone cleaners to use. And the right microfiber mopping schedule. So the floor will stay cleaner for longer.
