How To Avoid Stone Scratches

To avoid the wear and tear of stone in daily use, you can start from the following aspects:

Choose high-quality stonr materials:

Give priority to hard and wear-resistant stones, such as granite and marble, which have high hardness and durability and can better resist daily wear and tear‌1.

Choose stones with low water absorption to avoid deformation of stones due to water absorption and expansion, which will aggravate wear‌1.

Make reasonable design and laying:

Ensure that the foundation for laying stones is flat and solid, free of debris and water accumulation, and provide a stable and uniform support surface for stones‌1.
For larger ground areas, reasonable expansion joints should be set to cope with the expansion and contraction of stones caused by temperature changes and reduce wear caused by extrusion‌1.

Use the correct laying method to ensure that the stones are laid flat and tightly, and pay attention to the gap control between stones to maintain the overall beauty and firmness‌1.

Strengthen daily maintenance and care:

Clean the stone surface regularly to avoid stain accumulation, and use neutral detergent to clean it to avoid acid and alkali corrosion‌12.
For stubborn stains, use professional stone cleaners for treatment‌13.
Keep the ground drainage unobstructed to avoid long-term retention of water causing discoloration or damage to the stone‌12.
Avoid using hard or sharp objects to scratch the stone surface to prevent scratching the stone‌23.
Perform maintenance treatments regularly, such as waxing or sealing, to enhance the wear resistance and waterproofness of the stone‌35.

Be careful to avoid non-neutral substances and chemical pollution:

Stone is sensitive to acid and alkali, so avoid using detergents containing acid and alkali or non-neutral substances‌24.
Chemical substances such as paint, ink, etc. may also cause damage to the stone. When using, make sure that they will not directly contact the stone surface‌3.

Seek professional maintenance help:

For some complex stone problems, such as deep stains, cracks or severe wear, it is recommended to seek help from a professional stone maintenance company, who have professional equipment and technology to effectively solve these problems‌3.
Through the comprehensive application of the above measures, the wear of the stone in daily use can be effectively avoided, the service life of the stone can be extended and its beauty can be maintained.
