Preventing Future Damage to Your Stone Surfaces
If you’ve recently had your stone surfaces restored, you’re probably wondering how you can keep them looking their best for as long as possible. Luckily, there are several things you can do to prevent future damage and keep your stone surfaces looking beautiful.
- Clean up spills immediately
One of the most important things you can do to prevent future damage to your stone surfaces is to clean up spills immediately. Stone surfaces are porous and can absorb liquids quickly, which can lead to staining and other types of damage. If you spill something on your stone surfaces, be sure to clean it up right away with a soft cloth or paper towel.
- Use coasters and placemats
Another way to prevent future damage to your stone surfaces is to use coasters and placemats. These items can help protect your stone surfaces from scratches, stains, and other types of damage that can occur from everyday use.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals
When cleaning your stone surfaces, it’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals that can cause damage. Instead, use a mild soap and warm water to clean your stone surfaces. You can also use a stone-specific cleaner that’s designed for your particular type of stone.
- Don’t drag heavy objects across your stone surfaces
Dragging heavy objects across your stone surfaces can cause scratches and other types of damage. If you need to move something heavy across your stone surfaces, be sure to lift it up instead of dragging it.
- Use furniture pads
If you have furniture on your stone surfaces, be sure to use furniture pads underneath the legs. This will help prevent scratches and other types of damage that can occur from moving furniture around.
- Seal your stone surfaces
Sealing your stone surfaces can help prevent future damage by making them more resistant to stains and other types of damage. Be sure to talk to your stone restoration professional about the best type of sealer for your particular type of stone.
- Keep your stone surfaces dry
Keeping your stone surfaces dry is another important way to prevent future damage. Be sure to wipe up any water or moisture that accumulates on your stone surfaces right away.
- Don’t use abrasive cleaners
Using abrasive cleaners on your stone surfaces can cause scratches and other types of damage. Instead, use a mild soap and warm water or a cleaner that’s specifically designed for your type of stone.
- Use a cutting board
If you’re preparing food on your stone surfaces, be sure to use a cutting board instead of cutting directly on the surface. This will help prevent scratches and other types of damage.
- Schedule regular maintenance
Finally, one of the best ways to prevent future damage to your stone surfaces is to schedule regular maintenance with a professional stone restoration company. They can help keep your stone surfaces looking their best by cleaning them properly and addressing any issues before they become major problems.
By following these tips, you can help prevent future damage to your stone surfaces and keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
