]]> Natural stone floor gets stained quickly and it is sensitive to acidic substances like wine, coffee, fruit juices, tomato sauce, sodas, cleaning and toiletry products. If there is any spill it should be cleaned immediately otherwise, the surface will become dull.

]]> We recommend to use clean mats at the entrance of your floor. Mats will collect most of the grit and soil that could end up on your floor and scratch it. We don’t recommend rubber or plastic-backed mats as some polymers can discolor the stone.

If you follow these few simple guidelines, you will have a natural stone floor that looks beautiful for years to come. If you have an older floor that has been waxed or sealed with surface sealers, then you will need professional help to remove them without causing damage.
