How to Clean Natural Stone Effectively

Cleaning natural stone requires specific techniques and products to maintain its beauty and durability. Whether dealing with marble, granite, or local stones like yorkstone and liscannor flagstone, understanding the right approach is crucial.

Understanding Your Stone Type

Different stones have unique properties. Yorkstone is porous, requiring a gentle cleaner like Lithofin MN Easy-Clean to avoid damage. Liscannor flagstone, with its dense texture, benefits from regular maintenance using Lithofin Wexa to prevent staining.

Removing Stains from Marble

Marble is prone to stains due to its porosity. For effective stain removal, use Lithofin MN Stain-Stop. Apply it directly on the stain, let it sit, and then wipe clean. This product also provides a protective layer against future stains.

Cleaning Granite Countertops

Granite is durable but can absorb oil stains. To clean oil stains, apply Lithofin Oil-Ex, which lifts the stain without harming the surface. Regular cleaning with Lithofin MN Easy-Clean ensures the granite remains pristine.

Maintaining Portland Stone

Portland stone requires careful cleaning to preserve its historical value. Use Lithofin MN Power-Clean for deep cleaning, ensuring the stone's natural beauty is enhanced without causing erosion or discoloration.

Preventing Future Stains

Prevention is key in stone maintenance. Regular application of Lithofin Vlekstop provides a protective barrier, reducing the risk of stains and simplifying future cleanings.
