The first step is ensuring your stone has been sealed.  Once your stone is sealed, cleaning is easy.  However, stone that has not been sealed is virtually impossible to clean with out a professional.   Several companies make tons of cleaners and tools to aid in the process of cleaning stone.  However, all these products are confusing and most are not formulated for stone.  Additionally, many over-the-counter cleaners weaken and breakdown the sealer, causing your stone to get dirtier faster.   For example, cleaners containing vinegar, bleach, ammonia, lemon and other acids attack sealers, may etch your stone, or discolor the surface.  For this reason, We recommend StoneTech’s cleaners for your solution.  StoneTech only makes cleaners and sealers designed specifically for stone.  StoneTech offers three cleaners: Revitalizer, Stone & Tile Cleaner and Klenz All.     

When to clean: 
I recommend cleaning in three steps; spot cleaning, daily/weekly cleaning, and monthly/quarterly cleaning.  Spot cleaning includes using StoneTech’s Revitalizer Wipes or Spray to clean spills and countertops.  We recommend moping your floors Daily and/or weekly with StoneTech’s Stone and tile cleaner.  About once a month, we recommend cleaning your stone with Klenz All diluted as prescribed on bottle.
