Sandstone Cleaning In Sunshine Coast

Sandstone tiles are durable, easy to clean and less expensive than marble or granite. On the downside, sandstone needs to be sealed as it can be porous and is reactive to acid. Well maintained sandstone tiles add timeless appeal to any property, but improper cleaning and lack of maintenance can make them prone to scratching, staining, and fracturing.

The team at The Tile & Stone Specialists on the Sunshine Coast can provide the best sandstone cleaning solutions and maintenance schedules to prolong the life and beauty of your tiles.

Sandstone Cleaning

Foot traffic is one of the main reasons that sandstone tiles become dull, because fine scratching occurs from dust, sand and grit being underfoot. After prolonged wear, tile surfaces lose their reflective properties and look worn and tired. As part of our sandstone restoration process, we use a specialised polisher to return a smooth finish to your sandstone tiles. 

Our polishing equipment is unique in the Sunshine Coast area and allows us to provide superior results without the risk of damage. Sandstone tile cleaning should not be done with cleaners working at pressures above 800PSI, and acidic cleaners should not be used. A penetrating sealer should be applied immediately after cleaning sandstone tiles to reduce soiling and acid attack. Sandstone tiles usually look best with a low to medium sheen.

Sandstone Sealing

Sandstone has a high porosity; which means oily substances will absorb quickly and leave stains, while red wine, lemon juice, and colas will cause acid etching. A penetrating sealer should be used to protect the tiles and grout from stains, scratches, and acid attacks. Sandstone sealing with a breathable, impregnating sealer means you will have fewer problems with staining, scratching, or acidic liquids. Hence, cleaning and maintenance will be easier. Impregnating transparent sealers will provide excellent protection and enhance the natural look of the stone.
