Helpful Hints..."TO MAKE YOUR STONE CARE EASIER."

• NEVER use vinegar. acid based cleaners or harsh abrasive cleansers.
• Interior and exterior walk-off mats at major entrances are a must. Don't forget the garage door!
• Stone floors should be dust mopped more often, and wet mopped less often. Dirt and grit cause the most ware; therefore, eliminating them is best for your floor. (Over wet-mopping can result in soiling the grout and lower areas in the stone.)
• When using a dust mop head with a non-oily residue treatment, this will help attract and hold dust. (Can be purchased at any janitorial supply store.)
• When grout becomes soiled, flood mop floors with neutral cleaner, then scrub grout and tile with a soft-bristled brush, pick up water with mop.
• Use leather pieces on the bottom of chairs and stools that are moved frequently. (Scrap leather can be purchased at shoe repair stores. Cut to fit and glue on the bottom of chair legs.)
• Chairs with rollers should be avoided on some stones. (travertine, limestone, and marble)
• When severe deposit rings build up in toilets, use pumus stones and rub away. (They can be purchased at any janitorial supply stores.)
• When cleaning heavily soiled areas, apply cleaning product and let dwell for a few minutes. This allows the agents in the cleaner to do its job, making your job easier.
