Limestone cleaning and sealing

Limestone is a beautiful and durable natural stone that’s used widely in Sydney and Australia, however, professional maintenance is essential to maintain its earthy colours and smooth finish.

We’ve had years of experience cleaning, honing, polishing and sealing limestone and we understand how to get the best results. We clean limestone surrounding pools, inside homes, in commercial buildings and other outdoor spaces.

Why professionally clean your limestone

Staining is a common problem with limestone floors, with customers describing ‘dull’ spots in their limestone. In the kitchen this is usually marks from cups, or drops of acid from lemon, wine or vinegar.

In the bathroom, stains on limestone floors are usually caused by built up shampoo and other products. Staining in limestone is difficult to remove and should only be attempted by a professional.

We’ve talked about common indoor limestone issues, but when you get outdoors – by the pool or BBQ – there are different challenges, requiring very different treatments. This is why we fully scope each job and provide a detailed quote for the specific work needed.  

Honing or polishing limestone

In addition to cleaning, we often recommend honing or polishing of limestone. Honing produces a matte finish, while polishing creates a glossy finish. Other benefits of honing limestone are that it will hide imperfections, such as scratches and everyday dirt, whereas polishing will reflect light and show imperfections.

With our years of experience, we have the tools and equipment to remove stains, restoring your limestone floor to its natural state.

Sealing for easy maintenance

After cleaning, honing or polishing your limestone we can apply a professional grade sealer that will make your stone easy to maintain for years to come. Cleaning your limestone floor will be a breeze and future stains and spills will not be an issue thanks to our professional grade sealers’ stain protection capabilities. Limestone floor restoration and maintenance is one of our specialties.
