Limestone - Cleaning and Sealing |
General
Limestone is reputed in the international market for its premium quality, toughness and durability. It is often the preferred choice for interior and exterior in both commercial and domestic for flooring, wall cladding, paving and facades of buildings, railway stations, pavement, landscaping and garden stone. |
Limestone Maintenance |
Use Tile Doctor Pro-Clean Tile & Grout cleaner to effectively clean the stone tiles, highly effective against Wax Sealers, Grease, Grime and general dirt build up.
For difficult floors mix Pro-Clean with Nanotech Ultra Clean for a double whammy cleaning solution. Nanotech-Ultra Clean incorporates Nano technology to help lift the dirt from the tiles (it really works), especially useful for those hard to clean floors where the dirt has ingrained itself over many years.
Use a wet-dry vac machine to remove the dirty solution.
|
 |
Neutralise the stone floor with clean water and leave to dry for 30 minutes or more.
|
Apply Tile Doctor Pro-Seal premium sealer using a clean dry terry cloth (not the fluffy variety). Rub Sealant into the tile. Allow to dry before applying a second coat. Use a water test to achieve full cure sealability (F.C.S.). |
 |
For regular cleaning use a sealer friendly cleaning product such as Neutral Tile Cleaner which has been especially formulated for the regular cleaning of Sealed Stone and Tile surfaces keeping them fresh with a pleasant mint scent. |
PLEASE NOTE: Most sealers break down after 2-3 years (depending on usage) and will need to be re-applied.

Debbie Surrey |
We have a Limestone tile floor in our bathroom and it is getting very slippery. What is the best way to take care of that and what could be the reason for the sudden change? It's never been that slippery before. |
| Tile Doctor |
Hi Debbie, Has the Limestone been sealed lately, this might be what is making the limestone slippy, it might not be the correct product for limestone, apart from that I cant think of anything else that would do it. |

We recently had a Limestone floor laid in the kitchen. Around the sink area the tiles have deveopled mildew, which appears to have got into the pores of the tiles. I have been careful not to use anything not receommended for the floor to clean it with. The only problem area is around the sink. The rest of the floor is perfect. Please can you advise what product to use to restore the floor. |
| Tile Doctor |
Hi Sue, We have a product called Tile Doctor Pro-Clean (available from our website shop page) which will get rid of mildew, you may need to seal the affected tiles again afterwards, it is best to use the sealer that was originally used otherwise you may not get a satisfactory finish.
