1. Problem to address

Stone care starts with identifying the stone, finish and type of soil. Calcium-based stones are often more acid-sensitive than silicate-based stones, so guidance should follow the actual material.

2. Core criteria

  • Use a neutral cleaner suitable for the material.
  • Blot spills promptly rather than spreading them.
  • Spot-test new products in an inconspicuous area.
  • Avoid abrasive tools and unsuitable acids.
  • Review sealing needs against surface condition and supplier guidance.

3. Coordination workflow

  1. Identify stone and existing protection.
  2. Test the product in a concealed area.
  3. Mix and use products as directed.
  4. Classify the stain before choosing treatment.
  5. Record a care routine for the use frequency.

Site surveys and installation remain with the responsible project parties.

4. Limits and risks

  • Do not use vinegar or acids on acid-sensitive materials.
  • Do not scrub with steel wool or abrasive powders.
  • Do not mix cleaning chemicals.
  • Use a trivet for hot cookware.

5. Pre-approval checklist

Confirm stone type, cleaner, spot test, stain treatment, sealing approach and care routine.
