Use a pH-balanced product specifically for natural stone. Avoid cleaners that contain acids or abrasives on stone. For stubborn stains, create a poultice with baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 24-48 hours before gently scrubbing and rinsing.
Prepare a paste with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, spread on grout, scrub softly, and rinse. Once dry, protect the grout with a fresh layer of sealer.
Vinegar is good for cleaning ceramic tiles but will damage natural stones.
Ventilate the space, clear water with a squeegee, and use a neutral stone cleaner. Using a grout sealer prevents water from soaking in.
Yes, sealing protects grout and stone from everyday wear. Porous surfaces should be resealed every 1-2 years for proper care. Seal areas of frequent use biannually.
