Stone is not indestructible, if not regularly maintained care, it is easy to lose luster, or even damage. I teach you some methods of stone furniture maintenance.
Stone furniture maintenance notes:
When moving, pay attention to the placement of the shape of the stone, do not hit the stone with sharp hard objects, which will cause the protective layer of the stone to scratch, not conducive to the extension of the life of the stone. At the same time, when moving the stone, if it is a double layer of stone, it must be overlapped tightly when handling, and the middle can not leave a gap. If there is a gap in the middle, is the handling of stone furniture will be shaking, it is easy to collision accidents, serious can directly lead to the destruction of stone furniture.
Do not contact non-neutral items. All stone furniture furniture are afraid of acid and alkali. For example: acid often cause iron sulfide mineral oxidation in granite and produce spit yellow phenomenon, acid will decompose the calcium carbonate contained in the marble, resulting in surface erosion conditions, alkali will also erode the granite feldspar and quartz silicide crystalline grain boundaries resulting in the phenomenon of grain stripping. Therefore, non-neutral items are the original murderer to destroy the stone furniture mirror.
Do not cover the carpet for a long time, debris. In order to maintain the stone furniture breathing smoothly, should avoid covering the stone furniture surface for a long time on the carpet and sundries, otherwise, if the stone furniture under the moisture can not be evaporated through the pores of the stone furniture. Stone furniture will be due to excessive moisture, high water content and produce annoying stone furniture lesions such as you must lay the carpet, pile of sundries, please do not forget to change often.
Stone furniture is afraid of too much humidity in the environment. Water will produce hydration of stone furniture, hydrolysis and carbonic acid effect, resulting in water spots, whitening, weathering, peeling, rust yellow and other lesions, destroying stone furniture. Therefore, the stone furniture installation should always keep ventilated and dry.I have written about the harm of humid environment to stone. Please click here to visit
Not arbitrarily wax. Wax on the market where many kinds of wax, water-based wax, stearic acid wax, oil-based wax, acrylic wax and so on. These wax basically contain acid and alkali substances. Not only will block the stone furniture breathing pores, but also stained with dust to form wax scale, resulting in stone furniture surface yellowing phenomenon. However, if pedestrians and goods circulate very high frequency of places must be waxed, it is necessary to consult a professional maintenance company to guide the use of wax and maintenance.
Cleaning Stone furniture:
Natural stone furniture in the process of use still need people’s careful maintenance in order to ensure that its service life for a long time, in terms of marble, marble is a porous material, so it is easy to stain, clean the water used should be less, regularly slightly wet with a mild detergent cloth to wipe, and then wipe dry and polish with a clean soft cloth.
Heavily abraded marble furniture is difficult to handle and can be wiped with steel wool and then buffed with an electric grinder to restore its lustre. Or use liquid scrubber to wipe carefully, available lemon juice or vinegar to clean the stains, but the lemon stays on the best not more than 1-2 minutes, if necessary, repeat the operation, then wash and dry.
Whether it is hard granite or soft marble are not resistant to wind and sand and soil particles of long-term ravages. Therefore, dusters and electrostatic mops should be used from time to time to remove dust and clean thoroughly. Entrance to the commercial space into the best can be placed to remove dust mats, filtering shoes with the sand particles of the best home after the entrance to wear slippers, to reduce the chance of sand and dust wear stone furniture surface.
All stone furniture have natural pores, pollutants (oil, tea, coffee, cola, soy sauce, ink, etc.) will be very easy to follow the pores penetrate into the stone furniture inside, the formation of annoying stains, so be sure to choose a good quality stone furniture special protective agent applied to the stone furniture to prevent pollutants from contaminating the stone furniture. To know that all protective agents can not be 100% long-term blocking pollution, so once there is a source of pollution poured on the stone furniture must be clear immediately to prevent penetration into the pores of the stone furniture.
