You will never like your home décor to be getting
dirty at any cost, so as a natural thing you will try cleaning it with every
possible cleaning material possible. Now if you have Limestone installed at
your place, you need to be extra careful because you simply cannot use anything
and everything to clean up your Limestone tiles or setup.
Limestone is a type of calcareous stone which
is made with calcium carbonate, and an
acidic solution can harm the stone very much, such as bleach, citric acid, and
vinegar. There are many limestone cleaners available in the market which are
balanced in such a way the ingredients of
the solution does not etch the stone. Let’s have a look at how to correctly clean with the limestone cleaners.
Vacuum
it up
The limestone cleaners are made to clean the
limestone effectively, not any additional dust and dirt. So if you directly
apply the limestone cleaners to your décor then it may not bring you the
optimum result possible. That is why you need to run a vacuum cleaner, preferably twice, to clean the surface area
properly. It will suck all the loose dirt
from the limestone making a better aspect for the solution to work on. You
should cover up the surrounding areas with a towel so that the surroundings do not catch the dirt.
Use
a microfiber cloth
After you are done with the vacuum, now you
will need to require to use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the left outs. Lose
dirt and debris can create scratches later on if not cleaned before applying
the limestone cleaner. So wipe well
with the clean microfiber cloth until it seems clean to your naked eyes at
least. Any kind of left out dirt can create a mess, later on, make sure to remove all of it beforehand.
Wash
the limestone
This step is added to provide optimum results. Heat up some water in the tub
and wait. Once heated up, rinse a cloth into the bucket and let it soak. Once
soaked well, take the cloth out and spread it across the limestone, leaving it
there for a few minutes. Then pick the cloth up and wipe it with a dry cloth.
Apply the same repeatedly till the whole limestone is covered. It enhances the
effectiveness of the limestone cleaner.
Apply
the limestone cleaner now
After completion of all the steps, now you can
apply the limestone cleaners as directed in the bottle. If you want to go for homemade solutions
do not ever use bleach as it will make it etch, instead use ammonia. It is less
toxic than bleach. But it is better to use the solution which is perfectly well balanced so that your
beautiful limestone does not get pits and etches. After applying the limestone cleaner, leave it there for a
while, and then remove it with a dry piece of cloth, if needed wet. And you
will have your beauty of the limestone back and maintained for real long time.
In this way,
