If you have stone flooring in your kitchens or bathrooms, maintenance will increase its life span and make it look gorgeous for years to come. Fortunately, all it takes is a bit of routine maintenance to keep your flooring in excellent shape. Here’s a guide to help you properly care for the stone surfaces in your home

How to Maintain Your Stone Flooring

1. Sweep, Mop, & Rinse

Every week or so, give your stone flooring a thorough sweeping to remove any surface debris. Afterward, go back over the area with a dust mop to collect the more stubborn dirt and particles that may have penetrated the surface. Finally, wash your stone flooring with gentle soap and water, and then rinse and dry the surface with a cloth.

2. Clean Up Spills

As soon as you notice any spills on your stone flooring, wipe them up with a rag or paper towel. Liquids like coffee and red wine may leave noticeable and long-lasting marks if you allow them to sink into the surface. If you need to spot treat stains, use a poultice to absorb and remove the blemishes from your stone flooring.

3. Schedule Professional Cleanings

Get in touch with your local flooring technicians every three years to schedule professional cleaning services for your stone surfaces. Doing so will clarify the pores and clean any substances or debris that have settled into the flooring. With regular professional cleanings, your stone flooring may last upward of 50 years.
