Indoor Tile Care and Maintenance | {location}
Natural stone floors offer timeless beauty, exceptional durability, and a luxurious finish that elevates any interior space. But to keep them looking their best, they require proper care and routine maintenance. Here’s how to keep your indoor natural stone tile clean, protected, and preserved for years to come by {companyname}.
Daily and Weekly Cleaning Tips
Natural stone is porous and can absorb spills, so daily maintenance is key. Use a soft broom or dry dust mop to remove grit and dirt. When wet mopping, avoid harsh or acidic cleaners—these can etch or dull the surface. Instead, use a pH-neutral stone-safe cleaner and clean water. Always dry the surface thoroughly after mopping to prevent water spots and streaking.
Protecting the Surface
Prevention is essential in maintaining the beauty of your floor. Place doormats at entrances to reduce tracked-in debris and grit that can scratch stone. Felt pads under furniture legs will prevent gouges and chips. Keep pets’ nails trimmed and clean up spills immediately to avoid stains.
Sealing Your Stone
Most indoor stone floors benefit from periodic sealing to help resist moisture and stains. The frequency depends on the type of stone and the amount of foot traffic. As a general rule, resealing every 1–2 years is ideal. To test if your stone needs sealing, place a few drops of water on the surface—if it darkens quickly, it’s time to reseal.
When to Call a Restoration Professional
Even with the best care, natural stone floors can show signs of wear over time—dull spots, etching, cracks, or uneven tiles. If regular cleaning no longer restores the shine, if you notice visible damage, or if you think it’s time to reseal your floors, then it’s time to call your Surface Care PRO Partner. We have the expertise, tools, and products to hone, polish, repair, and reseal your stone to like-new condition.
