Deep-cleaning, light-honing, acid-washing and other methods are used to remove soils, debris, residue, etc. prior to applying stone sealers that help to repel water, oil, soils, and other contaminants.

<p>This newly installed stone lacked a clean and consistent appearance. The stone was cleaned and sealed. The process revealed a lighter and brigther appearance, and a natural reflection. No polishes or enhancers were added.  This is the stone’s natural finish.</p>
<p>Over time, marble flooring appears etched and duller. Refinishing and polishing were performed removing these blemishes and restoring the stone’s natural luster and polish.</p>
<p>After a few years of neglect, this flooring was restored to a much lighter and brighter appearance. Most soiling is removed from the stone and grout.  With proper care, this flooring is very durable and easy to maintain.</p>
<p>Light honing, deep-cleaning, hand-scrubbing, and sealing left the stone with substantial improvements. Larger holes are filled with durable epoxies color blended with the stone. Rarely do holes re-develop with the proper repair.</p>
<p>Etches result when acidic liquids react with calcium in marble, travertine, limestone and onyx. Refinishing and polishing removes these blemishes and then restores the stone’s highly reflective qualities.</p>
<p>Embedded soils and oil are removed with stone cleaners and strippers. The stone and grout are left with a lighter and brighter appearance. Mosaics have a tendency to soil more quickly due to added texture and porosity. Proper care is critical to keep the stone presentable.</p>
<p>Embedded soils are removed through industry-recommended methods. Results are substantial. After cleaning and drying, the grout is sealed with either a semi-permanent colorant-sealant or a natural, penetrating grout sealant.</p>
