All You Need to Know About the Stone Cleaning Process

Stone cleaning and restoration is a real science. It is one that demands great understanding of the differences and intricacies of natural stone floors and manmade tiles. This understanding and knowledge base comes from exhaustive training and experience on the job. While you can train the theory of stone cleaning, nothing offers a better understanding than actually completing the work. This is where you will be faced with the challenges and need to come up with a conclusive solution that will allow your client to receive the best possible and long-lasting finishes.

There is no practicing when you get to clean a client’s floor. You cannot make mistakes and rewind time. It is therefore incredibly important that you start the job fully equipped to take it on and confidence to achieve the highest standards.

For anyone contemplating a stone cleaning and restoration project, it is important to be well-informed in relation to the process. Knowledge is power and it will inevitably lead you to finding the best specialist to restore your home or business stone flooring.

The first part of the process will be researching local companies. You will get a feel from their websites as to their experience. They should have examples of the work they have completed. They should have a range of contact details so that contact is simple and straightforward. They should be happy to talk about their journey and training they have received. Furthermore, when you first speak with them you should get the sense that they want to help and are happy to answer your questions.

From this point a survey will be arranged. This survey is a great opportunity to gain more information about the company. Try to ask questions and try to make sure that you are not left without answers for anything. An experienced company will be able to answer queries and offer guidance in relation to the process. They will offer advice on how to achieve the exact look you require and how to make it long-lasting.

From this point, it is important that you receive a written quotation to complete the work. This should be a formal document that outlines all of the work to be carried out. If you are getting multiple quotations then this is an easier way of making direct comparisons. Did you know that your chosen company can complete a test area? This is a great way of identifying the possible results for your stone flooring.

The work will then be scheduled and completed in a timely manner. Your chosen company should keep in contact in order to schedule the work and make sure there are no outstanding questions. The stone cleaning process uses a variety of machines and products to remove the surface coatings. The stone flooring is then comprehensively cleaned before it is then recoated with a protective sealant.

Make sure to get information about general care and upkeep. This really is an important part of the process as it will offer you great value for money and the confidence to do what is best for your beautiful stone floor.
