Contrary
to popular belief, natural stone surfaces are not durable and
maintenance free.
Especially when restored, the correct maintenance is necessary to
maintain the appearance of the floor, otherwise tracking will occur. MARBLE RENEWAL™ will assist its clients by advising their
cleaners of a daily cleaning program that will save them money.
Also we carry out monthly or periodic maintenance of the high traffic
areas of the floor area to maintain the high presentation. Please

Normal "housekeeping" maintenance involves only periodic
washing with clean, potable water and neutral (pH-7) cleaners like
Marble Renewal's CPR (Cleaner, Protector, Restorer). Stone surfaces
should be first wetted with clean, hot (not boiling) water. Then,
using the cleaner solution (following the directions as on the label),
wash in small overlapping sweeps from bottom-up if a vertical surface.
Rinse thoroughly with clean, potable water to remove all traces
of soap or cleaner solution. Change the water in the rinse pail
frequently. Dry with soft cloth or cotton-flannel, and allow to
thoroughly air-drying. Chamois skin may be used in lieu of cotton
in this process.
Note that any flooring surface, regardless of how is finished, is
slippery when wet. Care should be taken to promptly remove liquids
or foreign materials that might result in safety hazards before
permitting pedestrian traffic.
Generally, prevention will save a great deal of time spent on cures
and remedies, especially since damages to stone are often irreparable.
Polished stone should receive the same care and consideration that
is given a fine wood finish. Spills of any type should be immediately
removed and water-rinsed. Coasters should be placed under all glasses,
particularly those containing liquors or citrus juices. Hot-plates
should be used under heated dishes. And, place-mats or felt bottoms
should be placed under china, ceramics, silver and bric-a-brac to
prevent scratching of polished finishes.

NEVER use acid base products
that are low in pH such as vinegar or dish soap. |
|
NEVER use generic products such as window
cleaner. |
Please refer to CARE TIPS on this web
site. If you run out of your neutral cleaner, warm water will be
just fine. In the meantime call us to arrange a dispatch of our
CPR.
