Deep cleaning and stain removal
Most stone looks worse than it is. Before any honing or polishing, we get the surface genuinely clean with stone-safe chemistry and mechanical agitation, and pull out stains that have soaked in.
What we remove
Years of gray soil in pores and grout; soap scum and hard-water film in showers; mildew and algae on lanais; stripped-off layers of acrylic "shine" products; oil, rust, coffee and wine stains via poultice.
Why not just use a store cleaner?
Most household cleaners are acidic or contain bleach and ammonia, which etch calcium stones and strip sealer. We use pH-appropriate stone cleaners, hot-water extraction, and poultices matched to the stain type, then re-seal.
FAQ
Deep cleaning & stain removal questions
Can every stain be removed?
Most can. Oil, organic and many rust stains come out with the right poultice. Deep, old rust and some dyes may lighten rather than vanish. We tell you which from the photos.
Is a deep clean enough, or do I need honing?
If the finish is still even and only dirty, cleaning is enough. If there are etches, scratches or dull lanes, cleaning will reveal them and honing is the fix. We quote both so you can choose.
