Like how sealing your natural stone surfaces is maintenance tip #1, cleaning stone is equally important. If your stone surfaces aren’t sealed properly, your natural stone surfaces will become unkempt and lose their appeal. Regularly cleaning stone can help maintain its appearance. Not to mention, you can’t seal the stone until it’s squeaky clean again.

Our stone cleaning services provide thorough and proficient cleaning techniques to restore stone surfaces.

Cleaning Stone Surfaces is Step #1

Even during the stone-sealing procedure, cleaning the surface is step number one. As with any major project, the first step is always one of the most important. That’s because it serves as the foundation for the rest of the project. If you want your natural stone surfaces to last for a long time, you should clean them thoroughly and regularly.

If you have them sealed properly, cleaning shouldn’t be a problem. You can sweep or wipe away the dirt to bring out and keep their best colors. However, if they aren’t sealed, then a simple cleaning won’t cut it. You’ll want a professional cleaning service like Texas Stone Sealers to come.

Our team can clean and restore the original appearance of your stone surfaces. Unsealed stone can wrack up quite a nasty appearance. Limestone can lose its colors under strong sunlight, pavers and concrete can get covered in white efflorescence streaks, and mold and mildew can call any natural stone their home. Our team can arrange for the removal of efflorescence, mold, and mildew while we pressure wash the stains and dirt off.

Of course, leaving your natural stones unattended is one type of aesthetic. Dirt and efflorescence won’t affect your stone structurally. However, once mold and mildew start creeping in, that becomes a health hazard. Rather than entertaining the idea, it’s better to keep your stone surfaces clean and maintain their original appearance.

Cleaning stone can drastically make your outdoor space more beautiful again.

Leave No Stone Unsealed!

Cleaning stones regularly will keep them in their proper appearance, but there’s a better way to maintain them. Seal them! Sealing them can help keep them cleaner for longer than if you left them out on their own. Luckily, Texas Stone Sealers leave no stone unsealed!

After you clean them, sealing them as soon as possible can help your natural stone surfaces last longer. Most commercial-grade sealants can only be applied after a thorough cleaning, so the best time is always after restoring your stone surfaces.

Texas Stone Sealers only uses products designed through Nano Cross-Linking Technology (Nano CLT). Nano CLT is a chemical process that tightly bonds two or more materials together. Our sister company used this method to create long-lasting stone sealants that are better quality than the generic brands in big-box stores.
