Don’t Treat Limestone Like Other Stones: Turn to the Experts Who Can Provide the Right Services
Limestone is often considered to be a low-maintenance, easy-to-clean stone but the fact is that it requires maintenance if you want it to look its best. Do not treat it as you would any other stone flooring or counter. Do not allow just any cleaning product or company to handle it. Turn to the stone professionals at Fuller Marble Polishing.
We Can Provide 100% of Your Limestone Cleaning Needs
When not properly cleaned and cared for, limestone will begin to look dirty. This is caused by dirt becoming impacted in the pores in most cases, though mildew and algae may be part of the problem if the limestone is located outdoors. Either way, professional cleaning is the best way to deal with dirty limestone – and we have the equipment to get the job done.
Follow These Limestone Care Tips to Keep Your Surface in the Best Possible Shape
While we are happy to provide a wide range of cleaning, maintenance, and other services, we also want our clients to know what they can do to keep their surfaces in great shape. Here are some of the limestone care tips we recommend to anyone with a limestone surface in their home:
- Never let water sit on the stone – clean up spills as soon as you can.
- Only use limestone-safe cleaners – never use abrasive or acidic cleaners.
- Dust mop daily.
- Seal your limestone and then reseal it annually.
- Use doormats to trap dirt and grime outside of the home.
- Prevent hot or wet surfaces from coming into contact with the limestone surface.

Don’t Let Your Limestone’s Beautiful Surface Lie Hidden
Whether your limestone has been cracked, chipped, or taken over by dull or etched spots, you can count on Fuller Marble Polishing to provide full limestone restoration services. Depending on your stone and the state it’s in, this can include repairs, deep cleaning, staining, sealing, and many other services. We will create a plan based on your specific needs.
Not All Stains Are Made to Be Used on Limestone
One of the most important things to remember about limestone is that you cannot use just any stain. While we do recommend limestone staining for some customers, there are specific stains that should be used. Using the wrong one can result in damaged limestone or damage to the strength of the stone. We use commercial-grade products we’ve come to trust after decades in this business.
Sanitization is an Essential Part of Your Limestone Maintenance Program
Due to the porous nature of limestone, it is wise to ensure that it is regularly both cleaned and sanitized. Sanitization helps rid the stone of algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, and other uglies that you do not want in your stone. We can also treat the surface to help prevent the re-growth of these issues. Talk to us if you have specific concerns about the sanitization of your stone.
Annual Limestone Sealing is Recommended in Most Cases
While every client has unique stone with unique needs, we generally recommend limestone sealing on a yearly basis. Sealing this porous stone helps to reduce the size of those pores, which makes it easier to clean and keep clean. If you are ready to learn more call Fuller Marble Polishing at 855-996-9981.
