Five taboos and four implementations of stone conservation

Stone is a high-grade decorative material. Dust, exhaust gas, acid rain, freezing and other pollutants in the natural environment can easily cause discoloration, pollution and even destruction of the stone, greatly reducing the decorative effect and service life of the stone. Man-made trampling, the friction of sand particles and dust, after a period of time, will make the stone become unrecognizable and lose its original luster. In order to prolong the service life of the stone and maintain the natural noble quality of the stone , it must be regularly cured. Here are five taboos and four implementations of stone conservation.

Five taboos:

1. Do not rinse directly with water: natural stone is like natural wood, a porous material that can breathe, so it is easy to absorb moisture or invade pollution through water dissolution. If the stone absorbs too much water and pollution, it will inevitably cause various stone lesions. Such as macula, water spot, Baihua, pan-alkali and other annoying problems. Therefore, the stone should avoid washing with water or moistening the surface of the stone with a mop.

2. Do not touch non-neutral objects: all stones are afraid of acid and alkali. For example acid often causes the sulfide minerals in the granite to oxidize to produce yellowing. The acid will decompose the calcium carbonate contained in the marble, causing the surface to be eroded. The alkali also erodes the granite feldspar and quartz silicide The culprit of crystallizing and destroying the stone mirror surface.

3. Can not be waxed at will: there are many types of waxes on the market, including water-based waxes, stearic waxes, oily waxes, acrylic waxes, etc. These waxes basically contain acid and alkali substances. Not only will it block the capillary pores of the stone, but it will be stained with dust to form wax scales, causing yellowing on the stone surface.

4. Do not use non-neutral cleaners in general: For quick cleaning effect, the general cleaners contain acid and alkali, so if the cleaner with unknown ingredients is used for a long time, the gloss of the stone surface will be lost, and because of non-neutral The residue of the drug is also the main cause of stone lesions in the future.

5. Do not cover carpets and debris for a long time: To keep the stone breathing smoothly, avoid covering carpets and debris on the stone surface for a long time, otherwise the moisture under the stone will not evaporate through the pores of the stone. The stone will cause annoying stone lesions due to excessive moisture and increased water content.

Four implementations:

1. Thorough maintenance and cleanliness: No matter the hard granite or the soft marble, it is not resistant to the long-term ravages of wind sand and soil particles. Therefore, from time to time, the dust collector and electrostatic mop should be used to thoroughly remove dust and clean. At the entrance of the commercial space, it is best to place a dust-removing mat to filter the sand particles from the shoes. It is best to change to slippers after entering the house to reduce the chance of sand and dust abrading the stone surface.

2. Regular maintenance and gloss maintenance: the dust removal alone can't keep the bright gloss of the stone. Therefore, we must regularly invite professional companies to send people to do maintenance and gloss regeneration maintenance.

3. Immediately remove pollution: all natural stones have capillary pores, and pollution sources (oil, tea, coffee, cola, soy sauce, ink, etc.) will easily penetrate into the stone along the capillary pores, forming annoying stains, so Be sure to choose a good quality special protective agent for stone to prevent the pollution of the stone by pollution sources. It should be understood that all protective agents cannot block pollution for 100% for a long time, so once a pollution source is poured on the stone, it must be removed immediately to prevent penetration into the pores of the stone.

4. Maintain ventilation and dryness: the stone is afraid of too high environmental humidity. Moisture will cause hydration, hydrolysis and carbonation of the stone, causing various lesions such as water spots, white blooms, weathering, rust yellow, etc., destroying the stone. Therefore, the stone installation place should always be kept ventilated and dry.
