Services we offer for limestone:
Cleaning
At BaMaPa Clean, our limestone cleaning process goes beyond the traditional mop and bucket approach. We begin by assessing the level of ingrained dirt, contamination, and wear.
Based on the extent to of limestone you need cleaning, we use our special neutral cleaning detergents to break down and remove surface contaminants. For deeper contamination and staining, we employ our specialised slow-rotation machinery equipped with carefully selected floor pads. With these, we apply cleaning detergents to gently loosen and eliminate dirt, leaving your limestone smoother and gleaming once again.
Removal
In the past, some stonework “professionals” used general sealants on limestone, which often caused more problems due to the stone’s natural characteristics. If your limestone surface has old or failed sealant, we can safely remove it and repair any damage from improper sealant application.
Polishing
If you want to add an extra shine to your repaired and sealed limestone floor, we can assist. Our diamond-encrusted pads slowly and gently polish the limestone surface to your desired finish. We then wash the polished floor with our specialist cleaner and let it air dry.
Polishing not only restores the natural beauty of limestone but also protects it from stains until the next cleaning. Our polish formula includes anti-slip ingredients, so you won’t have to worry about slipping on the shiny surface.
Protecting and sealing
Sealing limestone is more complex than marble due to its highly porous nature. How do you seal a stone that needs to breathe?
We use an ‘impregnating sealer’ that fills microscopic holes in the limestone to prevent dirt from getting trapped. This sealer is injected just under the surface, allowing your limestone to breathe and maintain its natural colour while protecting it from dirt absorption and strengthening its overall structure.
Common issues with limestone
Limestone is calcium-based and quite porous, making it susceptible to scratches, stains, and fractures. Unlike other common flooring stones, you can’t just apply a general sealant to limestone to prevent cracks and stains; it needs to breathe, making its maintenance challenging to handle alone.Scratching
As previously mentioned, limestone is prone to scratches from everyday use. In a busy office with a limestone floor, frequent foot traffic will inevitably cause a variety of scratches. On limestone countertops, items like knives, cups, and plates are the main culprits for scratches.Dulling
Limestone dulling is common and can be caused by several factors depending on its location. Excessive foot traffic, general use in a kitchen, prolonged UV exposure for outdoor limestone—even black limestone can lose its shine and reflectivity.Staining
The porous nature of limestone means it easily absorbs stains. Acidic beverages such as coffee, orange juice, or lemonade can not only stain but also damage the stone. Calcium-based stones don’t react well to acidic substances, including common household cleaners.Cleaning damage
Trying to remove a simple stain from your limestone surface and now noticing flaking and holes? Don’t panic! At BaMaPa Clean, we’ve seen this issue many times before, and it’s a problem that can be easily restored.Cleaning and restoring limestone floors
Restoring the natural beauty of limestone floors requires a careful and specialised cleaning process. To begin with, it’s crucial to use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for limestone surfaces to avoid damaging the stone’s delicate structure. Begin by sweeping or vacuuming the floor to remove any loose dust and debris. Next, apply the cleaner with a soft mop or cloth, ensuring to follow the grain of the stone for optimal results. For deeply ingrained stains or scratches, professional intervention may be required.
BaMaPa Clean employs advanced techniques such as diamond sanding and honing to gently eliminate imperfections without compromising the stone’s integrity. Once the surface is uniformly smooth, it’s important to apply a breathable sealant to enhance protection against future damage while allowing the stone to naturally release trapped moisture. This comprehensive care not only revitalises the floor’s original allure but also extends its longevity, maintaining its elegance for years to come.
