Natural tone tile cleaning is rarely cleaning alone, there is often added restoration required. Every type of natural stone has its own advantages and restoration difficulties. At the minimum, all stone and tile bear some kind of general damage. In many cases, dirt, spillages and foot traffic scratches spoil floor's finish, hence the importance of stone restoration. Highly polished Stone tiles and granite floors show up wear fairly quickly, as little foot traffic scratches on the surface dull the shine and capture dirt. Foot traffic damage eventually affects porous natural stone which include Limestone, Terracotta, Sandstone and, Travertine, which are most often coated with a film-forming surface sealer.
Most stone and tile floors have grout. Being a little bit deep-set, that means the grout draws in more grime compared to the stone and tile itself. Many stone floors also generally need crack, chip or hole repair.
Grinding and honing takes away damage from etching and surface scratching.The beauty of natural stone is that it may be re-surfaced, to show a new finish.
