Stone care five "can not" teach you how to avoid trouble


Natural stone, like natural wood, is a porous material that can breathe, so it is easy to absorb moisture or invade pollution through water dissolution. If the stone absorbs too much water and pollution, it will inevitably cause various stone diseases, such as: cracking, weathering, shedding, floating, yellowing, water spots, rust spots, white, fog and other annoying problems. Therefore, the stone should avoid washing with water or washing the stone surface with a wet mop.

Do not rinse directly with water

Natural stone, like natural wood, is a porous material that can breathe, so it is easy to absorb moisture or invade pollution through water dissolution. If the stone absorbs too much water and pollution, it will inevitably cause various stone diseases, such as: cracking, weathering, shedding, floating, yellowing, water spots, rust spots, white, fog and other annoying problems. Therefore, the stone should avoid washing with water or washing the stone surface with a wet mop.

Non-accessible non-neutral items

All stone are afraid of acid and alkali. For example, acid often causes oxidation of pyrite in granite to produce yellowing phenomenon. Acid will decompose calcium carbonate contained in marble, resulting in surface erosion. Alkali will also erode the grain boundaries of feldspar and quartz silicate crystals in granite, resulting in grain peeling. Therefore, non-neutral items are the cause of damage to the stone mirror.

Do not wax at will

There are many types of wax on the market, such as aqueous wax, fatty acid wax, oily wax, acrylic wax and so on. These waxes basically contain acid-base substances. Not only will it block the pores of the stone breathing, but it will also be stained with dirt to form wax scale, resulting in yellowing of the stone surface. If it is necessary to wax in places where pedestrians and goods circulate frequently, a professional maintenance company must be asked to guide the use of wax and maintenance.

Non-neutral detergents should not be used indiscriminately

In order to achieve rapid cleaning effect, general cleaning contains acidity and alkalinity, so if the cleaning agent with unknown composition is used for a long time, the gloss of the stone surface will be lost, and the residue of non-neutral medicine is the main cause of stone lesions in the future.

Do not cover carpets and sundries for a long time.

In order to keep the stone breathing smoothly, it is necessary to avoid covering the carpet and debris on the stone surface for a long time, otherwise the moisture under the stone cannot evaporate through the stone pores. The stone will cause annoying stone lesions due to excessive moisture and increased water content. For example, you must lay carpets and pile up sundries. Please don't forget to keep them clean and clean.

Whether hard granite (hardness HRs88-111±4-7) or soft marble (hardness HRs46-77±3-5) are not resistant to long-term ravages of sand and soil particles.

Due to some from time to time to use dust collector and electrostatic mop thoroughly do a good job of dust removal and cleaning.

It is best to place a division pad at the entrance of the commercial space to filter the sand particles carried by the shoes. It is best to change into slippers after entry to reduce the chance of sand dust wearing the stone surface.

Regular maintenance, maintenance of gloss, dust removal and cleaning cannot keep the bright stone gloss to be continued. Therefore, we must regularly ask professional companies to send people to do maintenance and gloss regeneration maintenance work.

Such as: the use of crystallization liquid to make marble surface recrystallization, or the use of polishing powder to make marble or granite surface regeneration gloss, or the use of polishing powder to make marble or granite surface regeneration gloss, or the use of breathable gloss protection agent and so on. All can make stone forever as new.

To remove contamination immediately

All stone has natural pores, pollution sources (oil, tea, coffee, cola, soy sauce, ink, etc.) will easily penetrate into the stone along the pores, forming annoying stains. Therefore, we must choose good quality stone special protective agent applied to the stone, to prevent pollution sources of stone. It is necessary to know that all protective agents cannot prevent pollution for a long time, so once a pollution source falls on the stone, it must be clear immediately to prevent it from penetrating into the capillary holes of the hundred materials.

Keep it ventilated and dry.

Stone afraid of environmental humidity is too large. Water vapor will produce hydration, hydrolysis and carbonic acid effect on the stone, resulting in water spots, albino, weathering, erosion, rust yellow and other lesions, destroying the stone. Therefore, the stone installation outlet should always keep ventilated and dry.

Regular protective treatment

To protect the life of the stone and prevent the penetration of water and pollution sources, it is necessary to apply protective treatment regularly (depending on the type of stone and the quality of the protective agent, it is best to do 1-2 times in 1-3 years). Special attention must be paid to the quality of the protective agent. After the application must be able to maintain the stone's air permeability and water resistance, anti-fouling. Never use protective agents of unknown origin, so as not to achieve not only the protective effect, but also to increase the trouble of stone maintenance.
