Common sense of daily maintenance and cleaning of decorative stone

1, Can not be directly washed with water

Natural stone and natural wood are the same, belong to a kind of porous material that can breathe, cause stone will absorb water or water dissolve stains to invade.Stone if absorb too much stains and moisture, will cause a variety of stone lesions, such as: water spots, rust spots, fog surface, weathering, baihua, spit yellow, crack, fall off, floating and other problems.Therefore, stone should avoid water scour or use a wet mop to wash stone surface.

2. Do not contact non-neutral goods

All stones are afraid of acid and alkali.For example: acid often causes the oxidation of pyrite in granite to make it spit yellow phenomenon, acid can decompose the calcium carbonate contained in marble, resulting in surface corrosion phenomenon.Alkali can also corrode the grain boundary of feldspar and quartz silicide crystallization in granite, resulting in the phenomenon of grain stripping.So non-neutral items will cause damage to the stone mirror.

3, Not at will on wax

There are many types of wax on the market, including water-based wax, oily wax, acrylic wax, touch fatty acid wax and so on.These waxes basically contain acids and bases.It will not only block the pores of stone breathing, but also be stained with dirt and dust to form wax scale, resulting in yellowing phenomenon on the appearance of stone.When pedestrians and high frequency of circulation of goods when necessary wax, should ask a professional maintenance company or personnel to guide maintenance and use wax.

4. Do not use non-neutral detergent at will

In order to seek rapid cleaning effect, general detergents contain acid and alkali, if the long-term use of unclear ingredients of detergents, will lead to stone appearance gloss lost, but also because of the use of non-neutral agents caused by residues stone lesions.

5. Carpets or sundries cannot be covered for a long time

In order to ensure stone breathing unobstructed, should avoid long-term coverage of carpet or debris on the stone surface, will cause the moisture under the stone can not be emitted through the stone pores.Stone will be too heavy because of moisture, water content increases and the occurrence of stone lesions.If you must carpet and pile up clutter, don't forget to vary and keep it clean.

6. Contaminants should be removed immediately

All stone materials have natural pores, stains (oil, tea, coffee, cola, soy sauce, ink, etc.) will be easy to penetrate the pores into the stone, resulting in stains retention.So we must use good quality stone special protective agent on the stone, to avoid the pollution source of stone.Should know that all protective agents are not 100 percent long-term block the source of pollution, so once there are pollutants sprinkled on the stone must be immediately removed, to avoid stains infiltration into the stone interior.

7, Should always keep the indoor ventilation and dry

Stone are afraid of indoor humidity is too large.Excessive moisture in the air will lead to stone hydration, hydrolysis and carbonation, will produce water spots, weathering, denudation, albinism, rust yellow and other diseases.Therefore, the stone installation should be regularly ventilated to reduce indoor humidity and keep dry.

8, To carry out regular protection treatment

To prolong the life of stone, we must prevent the erosion of pollution sources and water, must be regular according to the type of stone and the quality of protective agent (the best is 1-3 years to do 1-2 times) protection treatment.Special attention must be paid to the quality of protective agent.Protective treatment must maintain the air permeability of the stone and water resistance, antifouling.

9. Pay attention to the type of protective agent

The protection and maintenance of the stone must ensure the air permeability and water resistance, antifouling of the stone.Must not use unknown source of protective agent, so that it can not reach the protective consequences, but increase the difficulty of stone maintenance.
