Maintaining and protecting stone floors
At SRS Detroit, we specialize in the meticulous restoration, protection, and refinishing of stone surfaces throughout Detroit and Michigan. As winter weather brings salt, snow, and ice into foyers, entryways, and lobbies, our expertise ensures your stone surfaces retain their natural beauty and durability despite the harsh conditions. Here’s how we care for your stone surfaces year-round:
Thorough Cleaning
Salt and dirt tracked in during winter can scratch and dull stone surfaces. We use specialized tools to remove debris without causing damage, keeping your foyers, entryways, and lobbies spotless.
Expert Mopping
To combat the effects of salt and moisture, our team employs pH-neutral stone cleaners, preserving the integrity of your stone. Harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners are avoided to maintain its natural sheen.
Professional Sealing
Winter moisture can penetrate unsealed stone, causing stains or damage. Depending on your stone type, we recommend periodic sealing to safeguard against these risks. Our top-quality sealants provide long-lasting protection.
Stain Removal
Salt residue and winter grime can leave stubborn stains. We use specially formulated poultice pastes designed for stone surfaces, effectively removing stains while protecting your floors.
Protective Solutions
We recommend using mats or rugs at entryways to catch dirt, moisture, and salt before they reach your stone surfaces. These measures, combined with furniture pads, help prevent scratches and damage.
Gentle Care
Winter conditions demand careful maintenance. Our team avoids abrasive scrubbers or pads that could harm your stone, using only soft cloths and non-abrasive tools to maintain its pristine condition.
At SRS Detroit, we are dedicated to delivering the highest quality stone care services, ensuring your foyers, entryways, and lobbies remain stunning despite winter’s challenges. Contact us today to schedule a consultation or learn more about our comprehensive stone maintenance services!
