How to clean natural stone at home?

Stone is afraid of water, how to clean it?

Water is the source of life. But for stone, water is the source of all evil-the truth of the stone care industry has also been recognized. Water stains, rust, white flowers back to the base layer and many other stone problems, the culprit is generally water, but water is the most unstoppable substance in life, which also caused in many details, the stone is easily eroded by water. There are various problems. So, now that the stone is installed, what should we do?

One is the structural characteristics of stone

Natural stone is a material with a microporous structure, which contains a large number of visible holes and cracks. The micropores, micropores, and macropores that are still full inside must be identified by a microscope. This microporous structure leads to the following stone:

①Adsorption

②Type of penetration

③variability

These characteristics cause natural stone to absorb water, moisture, and moisture, and undergo various changes. This kind of microporous structure is essentially different from stone decoration materials in nature.

Cause, the hazard of rocky water

The performance of natural stone facing water is completely different from glass. The fundamental reason lies in its microporous structure. Stone absorbs water, which can easily cause many problems:

Destroy the stone structureStone materials such as marble and limestone are mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a slightly soluble substance in water. In the case of long-term contact with water, the stone will gradually soften and lose its composition, leading to changes in the material, such as pulverization and shedding, loss of decoration and reduced service life.Easy to cleanWe are used to washing stones with water, but we often find that the stones have been washed with water, but after drying, they will turn gray again. Because water can be trapped in the stone inside the stone and the pores on the surface, after evaporation, it is brought back to the surface of the stone.Stone diseaseAlmost all the chemical reactions or physical effects inside the stone are related to water. For example, water combines with various hygroscopic substances to form a gel, causing water spots. Water rusts the iron in the stone, forming rust. The migration of water will bring the calcium in the cement to the surface of the stone, forming white and so on.

The reason-mainly ignores the details.In the daily use of stone, the water obtained can be divided into "visible water", "wet", "steam" and so on. There are too many sources of these different types of water. There are many things to consider when implementing such a seemingly simple principle.Wash regularly with waterIn addition to daily dust push and stone protection, regular cleaning must be used to achieve deep cleaning. Can use "crystal planer + stone mat" or "stone washing machine" with stone soap to clean the stone. After cleaning, use a high-power pumping machine in time to discharge the wastewater, which can remove more than 80% of the pollutants. Or some washing machines have their own pumping function, which is more convenient to use.Push dust instead of mopping the floor. In daily cleaning, the method of "dust push + electrostatic vacuum solution" is used for dust push treatment. The effect is very high and more efficient.Slightly contaminated cleaningThere are dust and dirt on the part of the stone that cannot be cleaned. You can use the "gradual wet-dry method" to deal with: first wipe the stains off with a wet towel, and then dry the water with a dry towel in time.Do protection"The anti-rule is better governance" is the stone application philosophy that we have repeatedly emphasized and implemented. Regardless of the environment where the stone is installed, a complete protection plan should be formulated and strictly implemented in the application.
