Cleaning
Obviously, all surfaces need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Not only for appearance, but for health and preservation of the surface. Professional cleaning periodically is vital to maintaining a beautiful natural stone or tile and grout surface. Professional Maintenance Cleanings every 6 months to a Year will help maintain and preserve the natural stone surface, especially floors. Cleaning followed by a light polishing or buffing will keep the hard surfaces looking beautiful and shining year round. Professional cleaning will get the grout lines looking good again too.
Grinding
Grinding is the process by which the surface is sanded by the use of
abrasives (diamond discs) to remove large stocks of the stone. This
process is usually recommended when stone tiles contain lippage
(uneven tiles). It is also recommended when deep stains and
scratches occur or when one desires a completely floor.
Honing
Honing is the process of smoothing the stone with the use of abrasives (diamond discs). Honing is performed to remove scratches but will not remove lippage (uneven tiles). It can, however, round the edges of the stone, giving a smoother finish to the edge.
Polishing
The high shine observed on stone is the result of smoothing it with
fine abrasives. Most craftsmen will use diamond abrasives to hone
the stone, then switch to a powdered abrasive to achieve the final
polish.
The abrasive powder is worked into the stone with a floor machine
using water and cloth or polyester fiber pads. The powder is worked
into a slurry until a polish is achieved. The craftsman removes the
slurry with a wet-vac or mop and rinses the floor to remove excess
powder. It is a relatively simple procedure, but requires a great
deal of practice.
