Stone Maintenance
Importance of Care
We spend a lot to get that dream look of our interiors by using different stones. But like any other thing, stones also need regular maintenance so that they can retain their color, luster, gloss and beauty. Not performing time to time maintenance will cause your stones to become dull, scratched & lifeless. The more time you spend without maintaining them, the more you will have to end up spending in order to restore their natural beauty.

Natural Stones, especially calcite based stones such as Marble, Travertine, Onyx, and Limestone, have a delicate chemical composition. Thereby, if you mistakenly use cleaners that are not suited for natural stones, they will interfere with the chemical bond and make them unattractive to look at. You should also be aware of the fact that Calcite based stones are extremely reactive to any kind of acidic presence, thus, if your cleaning agent has any kind of acidic presence you need to avoid it while tending to such material.
It can be tricky to ensure which maintenance methods to adopt. There are many different kinds of stones out there and they all have different types of chemical composition, so while one product may clean a certain type of stone, that same product may dissolve some other stones as well! Therefore, it’s advisable to only trust the professionals when it comes to managing your stones.
At Stone Surgeons, we pay special attention to details and make sure that your stones are maintained in pristine condition while you can just sit back and relax. Our engineers have years of experience in stone maintenance and this reflects in our work.

Frequently Asked Questions
CAN RUGS DAMAGE MARBLE, GRANITE, OR OTHER STONE FLOORS?
Rugs especially with rubber or latex base can cause friction against the marble, granite or other natural stones while sliding. Moreover, the dirt & grit that accumulates on rugs over the time can also damage the stone floor when displaced from their place with pressure. Therefore, Stone Surgeon advises the use of rug holders to keep rugs at place and avoid stone and marble damage and keep your marble clean and polished.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR REQUESTING A QUOTATION OR ESTIMATE?
At Stone Surgeon there are absolutely no charges for consultation or getting an estimate for the amount of work involved. Our engineers are always ready to help you with your stone and marble cleaning, polishing, sealing, and restoration questions.
WILL THERE BE DUST DURING THE STONE CLEANING, POLISHING, OR RESTORATION PROCESS?
No, Stone Surgeon takes all measures such as using diamond abrasives and water to ensure that a minimal disruption is caused in your daily routine while undertaking stone and marble cleaning, polishing, or restoration activities.
HOW CAN I KNOW HOW DAMAGED MY MARBLE, GRANITE, OR NATURAL STONES ARE AND WHAT RESTORATION METHOD IS BEST TO CLEAN IT?
Different stones need to be treated differently to restore their natural sheen. Light & porous stones such as marble, limestone, and granite are more vulnerable to damage if not taken care of properly. Stone Surgeon engineers will first analyze the stone before working out the restoration method.
WHY CAN'T I CLEAN THE STAINS OR WATER SPOTS ON MY MARBLE, TRAVERTINE, ONYX, LIMESTONE, SLATE, TERRAZZO, QUARTZITE, OR GRANITE SURFACE.
Sometimes, we mistakenly consider the etch marks as water spots. This happens usually when an acid comes in contact with the calcium based stones. Generally, polishing the stone is the best resort in such instances.
WILL I NEED TO EMPTY THE SPACE WHILE THE RESTORATION OR MAINTENANCE WORK IS BEING CARRIED OUT?
No, Stone Surgeon doesn't require you to vacate the place or move things while we carry out our job. We take care of your furniture, carpets & walls during the process & make necessary arrangements beforehand, if required.
