Limestone is a natural stone that is commonly used for flooring, counter-tops, and other surfaces. Like any other natural stone, it requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance and prevent damage. Here is an overview of how to clean limestone:
Start by removing any loose dirt, dust, or debris from the surface of the limestone with a soft-bristled broom or vacuum cleaner. Limestone is a porous material that can be damaged by acidic or alkaline cleaners. Use a pH-neutral Tikko cleaner that is specifically designed for natural stone, and dilute it according to the instructions on the label. Apply the cleaner to the surface of the limestone using a soft cloth or mop. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads or steel wool, which can scratch the surface of the stone.
Gently scrub the surface of the limestone with a soft-bristled brush or scrubbing pad. Be sure to scrub in a circular motion and avoid using too much pressure. Rinse the surface of the limestone thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of the cleaner thereafter.
It's important to note that some types of limestone may require special cleaning methods or products. If you're unsure about how to clean your limestone, it's best to consult with a professional cleaner or the manufacturer of the stone. For more detail, please refer to the info-graphic below.
