This info-graphic titled ‘Knowing all about cleaning Limestone’ provides us an overview of limestone cleaning.

Limestone is a timeless building stone that will keep up its charm for years to come if it is cared for suitably. Make use of a soft microfiber cloth or mop to clean the surface and remove the grime. Ensure not to miss any spots or spills. Once you are done, rinse your surface with plain water to take off any soapy residue. Thereafter dry your stone surface with a cotton towel.

Although Limestone is defined as a durable natural stone to work with, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t exercise concern when cleaning it. The best way to fix deterioration and stains is to prevent them. Make sure to wipe spills as fast as achievable to prevent any stains and to reseal your limestone regularly. The seal will forbid liquids and dirt from penetrating the surface. Also, you will want to secure the surface from scratching. To do this, add on area rugs to entries and heavy traffic areas and use pads underneath furniture. Avoid chopping food items straightaway on limestone counter-tops, as this could cause dirtying or may leave scratches on the surface. Also keep away cleaning acidic cleaning solutions, like lemon or vinegar as these can be damaging to your limestone surface.

This info-graphic titled ‘Process for Restoration of Natural Stone’ provides us an overview of restoration of natural stone.

When we talk about natural stone, we mean marble, limestone, granite, and other stones applied for tile flooring, counter tops, back-splash, patio building, etc. Natural stones look fashionable and naturally more beautiful compared to synthetic materials. This is why natural stone is more pricey than synthetic materials. Natural stones are durable but they are also much porous in nature, which makes them more susceptible to wear and tear.

Unlike tiles those are synthetic in behavior, natural stone can be uncertain and sensitive. It is vital that you understand its constituents in detail, and know what to expect when it comes to natural stone restoration and upkeep. Regular wear and tear, moisture, heavy traffic, and chemicals can badly deteriorate the finish of natural substances. The good news is, correct restoration can bring back the beauty and lustre of the stone. This means that the integrity of the stone won’t be compromised giving you the certainty that it can last for many years to come.

This info-graphic titled ‘5 Properties to consider when choosing sealants for home’ provides us an overview of good properties for a home sealant.

Sealants are broadly used as a barrier or a means of protection. In this way, sealing materials are used to exclude dust, dirt, moisture and chemicals, or to incorporate a liquid or gas. They are also often used as a finishing product to protect the surfaces of articles.

Important mechanical properties of home sealants include elongation, compressing ability, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, tear resistivity and fatigue resistivity. Counting on the nature of the application, a sealant may require very little strength or high strength.

The sealant must have sufficient mechanical characteristics to remain affiliated to substrates during service as well as to provide a barrier. The substrates could move substantially, requiring that the sealant spread out and contract significantly without losing adhesion from the surfaces.

This info-graphic titled ‘How to choose Best Primers and Sealers for Exterior Applications’ provides us an outline of common things to keep in mind while selecting primers and sealers.

Painting a wall might seem simple enough at a glimpse, but there is a lot of set up that you have to do before you go for that first coat of paint. That is to say you’ll have to figure out if you’ll need to use an undercoat on the area that you’re going to paint over, and if you need a primer or a sealer paint. Primer is used directly on the surface that you’re going to paint over. The main function of the primer coat is to give the top layer good adhesion to the substrate. While Sealer paint can be used as a replacement for a primer, or before the primer is applied to the base area. Sealer is mainly used to provide good adhesion between the substrate and the new paint or the primer.  It is always important to know the nature of the base surface before applying sealers and primers externally.

This info-graphic titled ‘Steps to make foaming hand soap cleaner’ provides us a precise guideline to make lathery hand cleansers. 

All you have to do is mixing the water into the soap slowly and gently. Just keep tipping back and forth of the container with a slow motion until the water is incorporated along the soap. The reason that your soap produces foams has nothing to do with actual cleaning property of soap. It is more of the way the soap is dispensed. Soaping dispensers add much air to the soap as you push down on the pump. If you take a look at your foaming soap dispenser you’ll see the soap is held with the main chamber, and then there’s found a smaller chamber attached to the pump. It’s that chamber that powers air into the soap as you pump it out.

This info-graphic titled ‘knowing about marble cleaning’ provides us an outline of common tips to clean marble.

Marble is a very versatile stone that has many cosmetic and ornate uses such as for flooring, countertops, sculptures decorated outdoors, and that used for architectural purposes. When we think of marble flooring and countertops, we consider them as classic, elegant and high-end. Marble is a hard, derived by nature stone that must be taken steady care in order to preserve its lifespan and keep it looking beautiful. Marble starts off as metamorphous rock and is comprised of various elements and minerals like dolomite and calcite. Marble undergoes major transformations over a period of thousand years, that then results in the marble that we know of today. Marble stone inevitably and naturally begins to lose its appeal and luster with time and age. This is when marble cleaning becomes necessary and essential.

It is recommended that marble polishing be completed once every two years in order to guard its facade. Without proper polishing and adequate sealing, marble bears the risk of being penetrated and permanently stained. Marble flooring is especially insecure to foods and liquids that are highly acidic so if spills occurs, it is important that they are treated promptly.
