Sandstone floor cleaning Bath and surrounding villages is a very popular service that Clean 'N' Seal Southwest has provided our customers for many years.
Over the years we have been able to perfect our sandstone floor cleaning methods and our customers always get the best finish possible.
Sandstone floors which are not looked after properly can soon become very soiled and off putting in any environment, especially in Bath where lots of the large houses main hallways in the city centre were laid with sandstone when they were built. As sandstone is very porous it can easily absorb spillages and dirt that will only be removed by specialist cleaning methods and equipment.
Sandstone floor cleaning process
One way to clean a sandstone floor in Bath we commonly use is:
Firstly protect all work areas, walls and carpets and any furniture that we cannot remove.
We apply clean water to the sandstone floor, then using a floor scrubber with brushes and a wax and residue remover product we agitate the floor making sure the brushes are lifting the soiled and stained sandstone floor, the edges and sides are cleaned by way of hand scrubbing. By working at 1-2 square metres at a time we can control the time spent on each area and visually inspect the sandstone as we progress. Once the area is clean and free from stains we then remove the wax and residue solution with a wet pick up vacuum machine.
This machine is made to extract water at high pressure and suck it up again all in one go. So it picks up the wax and residue solution and neutralises the floor all at the same time.
Using this process on sandstone floor cleaning Bath we can see if the area has been cleaned thoroughly or if the process needs repeating.
Only when we are totally satisfied that the sandstone floor is completely clean will we leave it to dry, as I stated earlier sandstone is very porous and can take quite a while to dry, so we usually leave it to dry overnight with the aid of air blowers to circulate the air in the room.
Returning the following day we are able to inspect the sandstone floor Bath before protecting the sandstone floor surface, as sandstone is a textured natural stone it grabs hold of dirt very easily, so the best way to solve this problem is by applying a top quality topical sealer to the surface, not only does this eradicate the roughness of the floor, it seals it too to help prevent stains and dirt penetrating the sandstone floor.
Sealing the floor also gives it a really nice sheen finish that makes it look amazing and back to life once again.
