People get natural stone installed in their flooring, countertops and shower areas. Some of you also install such stone near your pool area. It is a costly venture, but it does bring a beautiful look and a rustic charm to your spaces. Natural stone has to be maintained well if you want to maintain the sheen and lustre for long. It is highly porous and tends to get stained and molded very quickly. It also gets chipped and cracked due to heavy impact. If your natural stone has been attacked by all these problems, then professional stone floor cleaning services can clean it thoroughly. D'Sapone® – one of the leading stone restoration services in the US offers the best restoration services to cater to the stains, chips, cracks, and lack-lustre issues.
Common Problems with Natural Stone:
- Natural stone tile such as those made from marble, granite, slate and travertine look lovely in flooring, but they are permeable. They allow moisture to penetrate their pores and eventually invite mold and mildew breeding. The penetrating moisture and dirty water inside also causes dense staining at the root.
- These stones also chip off easily due to heavy impact.
- Lastly, natural stones like slate also shed dust. If not sealed properly, they make your interiors look dusty and dirty all the time, and also fade in some years.

Different Kinds of Natural Stones and their Cleaning Requirements:
-
Marble Cleaning:
- It tends to absorb moisture, liquids and other food spills leading to mold breeding and staining.
- It also tends to lose its lustre and sheen after a few months if not sealed properly.
- Cracks and chips are also evident on the surface due to heavy impact.
- Marble countertops also get scratched easily due to chopping and cutting of vegetables and fruits.
- Marble showers get stained by soaps and shampoo spills.
- Marble tile is easily etched by using acidic cleaners.
D'Sapone® performs a patented marble cleaning procedure using Imperia Deep Clean as explained above.
-
Granite Cleaning:
- If the stone is not sealed correctly, it will retain juice, wine, oil or any liquids, causing stains that might be impossible to eliminate.
- It is susceptible to chemical damage, such as etching and dulling.
D'Sapone® performs granite countertops, flooring and shower cleaning by their patented procedures by experienced artists. The procedures are explained above.
-
Slate Cleaning:
- It comes with many crevices which absorb water.
- It tends to stain if not sealed properly.
- Slate may shed dust or flakes as it is a naturally cleft, flaky stone.
- It can etch or get abrasive with acidic cleaners.
D'Sapone® performs its patented stone cleaning procedures to clean and restore your slate tile and make it look like new.
-
Travertine Cleaning:
- They render a very natural look to your interiors but are not totally maintenance free.
- These are not moisture resistant and over a period of time, hard water stains, soap scum and mold may affect the surface.
- A good travertine cleaner is required to remove the stains and mold without affecting the stone.
D'Sapone® tackles the stains, mold and grime on travertine tile by performing its revolutionary travertine cleaning procedure using the best products.

Providing Titanium Protection to Grout:
Grout is very porous. No matter how clean your stone is, it will look worse within months if the right grout sealing process is not performed. D'Sapone® artists waterproof all the grout lines while applying Caponi® – a 2 part pigmented titanium solvent epoxy/resin. It closes all the grout pores and prevents them from allowing the passage of liquids. D'Sapone® can pigment it in over 40 colors to suit your requirement. Not only for natural stone grout, we also offer the same services for porcelain or ceramic grout sealing.
Often natural stone tile surfaces like a granite countertop or a marble shower faces cracks and chips. If there are cracks in the tile and grout, we don’t replace the tile if there is no extra tile. We perform floor repair by repairing cracks in the tile and grout using Sentura – a two part pigmented solvent based flexible epoxy/resin designed with a 1200psi adhesion that never pops out and protects your surface for a lifetime. Our artists color match the product with the surface and deliver a natural and beautiful look to the tile and grout. We also use Sentura to seal your natural stone shower corners instead of caulking the same. Our granite, slate, marble and travertine shower restoration services are the best in the country.

Sealing Stone Tile Using a Clear Resin Sealer:
Once the surface is cleaned and repaired, D'Sapone® waterproofs the stone tile as it is porous and no matter how clean it is, natural stone will absorb moisture in wet settings. Our artists perform a patented stone sealing process with Celine – a clear topical solvent based resin, creating a hydrophobic surface while adding a slight sheen.
