Stone Floor 101
Have you found yourself wondering what you should consider when polishing a marble floor? Or perhaps you have another type of stone flooring, such as porcelain, slate, granite or clay?
Firstly, you need to consider the threats to your stone. For instance, marble can be harmed by acids, causing more and more damage as time goes by. Only use a recommended marble stone polishing powder and a low-speed power buffer.
You also need to consider whether your stone requires a topical or penetrating sealer. Polished stones such as marble, granite and porcelain require a penetrating sealer, which seeps into the structure to repel moisture. While topical sealers are ideal for more porous surfaces like slate and travertine.
Save yourself the headache of sourcing expensive stone cleaners and spending hours scrubbing and scraping.
The best way to look after your stone flooring is to book a visit from a professional cleaning team. Call now for your free quote.
What are the benefits of a stone floor cleaning?
Removes stains
Some stones are porous while others have a textured surface, such as travertine, which can also harbour dirt. These materials can hold onto stains and require a deep clean to eradicate them. Our professional stone cleaning provides a much more attractive look, making your surfaces shine.
Restores your floor’s appeal
Taking proper care of your stone floor helps it last longer. Dirt, gravel and small stones can have a damaging abrasive effect. When kicked or trodden into your surfaces they can cause scuff marks, scratches, erosion or tarnish the finish. We also provide stone polishing and stone sealing.
Boosts your home’s hygiene
With stones clinging onto all sorts of dirt, dust and food particles, they can become hotbeds of bacteria. This can be a problem if you have children and pets who spend a lot of time on the floor. A deep clean makes your floor healthier and reduces flare-ups of associated allergies.
Reduces the need for reinstallation
If you look after your stone flooring, you can reduce cracks, chips and dulling, which means you won’t have to replace them anytime soon. Our professional stone cleaning team can also apply a sealant to keep your floor in peak condition. That’s money that stays in your pocket.

Our stone floor cleaning and restoration process
Have you found yourself wondering what the best cleaning method for your flooring is?
Well, that all depends on your specific type of stone. Here at Walkers, we have been in the business for over thirty years, so you can trust us when it comes to knowing how to clean natural stone floors.
Even though every floor is different, we will always use our trusted four-step process to guide us and deliver unbeatable results time and time again.
Step One - Assessment
Before we clean your stone flooring, our technicians will give your floor a thorough evaluation to produce the best treatment plan. This will take into the type of stone, any existing damage, the degree of soiling, whether it has been sealed and polished, and the threats it is exposed to on a daily basis.
Step Two - Pre-treatment
With the assessment taken care of, we will give your stone floor a thorough clean using a dry mop and delicately vacuum any hard to reach areas with our specialist equipment.
Step Three - Cleaning
Now we can begin to treat your floor. We use different stone floor cleaning methods depending on your specific floor type, whether you have a siliceous stone or calcareous stone floor.
Siliceous stone floors include granite, bluestone, slate, brownstone and more. They are hard-wearing, which means they can be cleaned using a mild acid-based solutions.
On the other hand, calcareous stone floors, have a high calcium carbonate makeup which can be affected by acids and therefore need gentler cleaning solutions. These include travertine, marble and limestone.
Step Four - Polishing and sealing
Once your floor is beautifully soil-free, we can begin to seal in the perfection. If you prefer a glossy finish, we can buff it using our specialist commercial-grade buffing and polishing ingredients and equipment. And to protect it from future wear, we can apply the recommended sealer for your stone type, whether topical or penetrating.

Professional Stone Floor Cleaning vs DIY Stone Floor Cleaning

Walkers Floor Care Tips
#1 Use the right products
The first rule of caring for marble floors, terrazzo, porcelain or any other stone floor is to ensure you use the right product. Household products such as grout cleaner and acids such as vinegar and lemon juice can dull the surface, while abrasive cleaning tools and vacuums without wheels or with worn brushes can also leave marks.
#2 Brush on a daily basis
The best way to care for your stone floor is to clean spills and dirt as soon as possible and give it a thorough brush on a daily basis. If you are going to use a vacuum, ensure it is on the correct setting and isn’t missing wheels to prevent scratches to the surface.
#3 Know the type of floor
Before using any stone cleaning products on it, ensure you have removed all surface particles. You also need to know the type of stone your floor is made of, otherwise you risk damaging the finish.
#4 Go the extra mile
Once you have found a special cleaning agent formulated for your floor type, spray and leave to set according to the instructions, before mopping twice with separate buckets of water to remove any residue. Finish off with a buff and stone floor polishing depending on the effect you’re going for and the stone type.
