Commercial Stone Restoration in Sherman Oaks

If you own a business, why should you get a service to do commercial stone restoration?  Shouldn't you do it yourself?

When is it okay to use vinegar or anything acidic on a marble, limestone, or travertine floor? Never, all of these stones are highly reactive to anything acidic.  How do you clean stone properly?  It depends on the stone.  Some stone needs more work than others.  Should you use floor wax on your marble floor? No, do not use wax on your marble floor as wax will leave behind residue that will ultimately cloud your floor's finish.  As for  doing commercial stone restoration on your own, what you don't know can hurt you, or more accurately, hurt  your floor.  

Knowing What to Do With Stone Restoration

If you do not know what you're doing, do not try to do stone restoration on your own.  First off, whatever business you're in, that should be your focus.  There is a bit of a learning curve where working with stone is concerned, as well as the requirement of having a lot of equipment and chemicals that you'll have to have around.  Granite however, can take a lot more than marble can, but marble can take a surprising amount of honing and polishing.  
So remember, you want to make sure that your business maintains a positive image.  We suggest that you start at the floor at work your way up.  So know what to do and what not to do.  And when you want to be sure, call in a service for commercial stone restoration in Sherman Oaks.
