🧼 Black Limestone Cleaning & Maintenance Solutions
🧪 Solution One: Stone-Specific Cleaning Products (pH ~10.5)
For routine maintenance and general stain removal, use alkaline cleaning agents designed specifically for stone.
Steps:
1 . Choose a Strong Concentrated Cleaning Agent
- Effectively breaks down organic residue and removes old protective sealants.
2 . Enhance with Detergent Powder (if needed)
- Increases cleaning strength and keeps the mixture active longer for deeper absorption.
3 . Test First
- Apply to an inconspicuous area (e.g., wall corner) to check for discoloration or dark blotching.
4 . Polish Minor Scratches
- Use polishing powder with a polishing or single-disc wiping machine for surface-level imperfections.
🌿 Solution Two: Enzyme-Based Liquid Cleaners
For more stubborn or deeply embedded stains (like vegetable matter), enzyme cleaners are highly effective.
Steps:
1 . Get a Two-Component Enzyme Cleaner
- Designed for penetrating deep into the limestone layers to lift stains.
2 . Thick Paste Method for Deep Stains
- Mix enzyme cleaner with decontamination powder to create a paste (peanut butter consistency).
- Apply to affected area, cover with plastic film, seal edges, and let it sit for 24–72 hours.
- Scrape off with a small bamboo tool and repeat if needed.
3 . Apply Permeable Protective Agent
- After cleaning, apply a stone protector to prevent future staining.
🛠️ Handling Scratches on Black Limestone
Polishing is necessary when visible scratches appear. The type of abrasive depends on the contractor's choice and may include:
- Brick soil
- Cinder
- Sandpaper
- Emery
Due to the complexity, professional polishing is highly recommended.
Note for Thin Limestone Sheets (305 x 305 x 10mm)
Thin black limestone tiles are more prone to deep penetration scratches (e.g., from high heels), which may be too deep to polish effectively. Always consult a restoration expert for best results.
