Natural Stone Cleaning

Our 6-Step Process to Flawless Natural Stone Floors

Are the stone floors in your Knoxville home looking dull and lifeless? Stone floor cleaning can restore their natural beauty and make them look brand new. At Carr’s Rug Cleaning, our expert team uses a detailed 6-step stone floor cleaning process tailored to your specific needs. Here’s what you can expect if you hire us to restore your flooring.

Step 1: Pre-Inspection

Every natural stone cleaning and restoration begins with a comprehensive pre-inspection. During this stage, we evaluate your floors to understand their condition and specific care requirements. This helps us develop a customized cleaning plan that targets your stone type, whether it's travertine, limestone, slate, sandstone, granite, quartzite, or marble.

Step 2: Preparation

The next step in our process ensures your home will stay protected throughout the cleaning process. We make it a priority to shield the areas surrounding your floors to prepare for the remaining steps we complete. Also, we use a special dust-free method to limit the spread of dust in the air. 

Step 3: Honing

Honing is where the magic starts. Using diamond abrasives and water, we mechanically resurface your stone floors to achieve a beautiful sheen. This process evens out the surface of your floor to remove signs of wear and tear and minor scratches.

Step 4: Polishing

Next comes polishing, where your floors achieve their desired luster. Whether you prefer a dull, semi-gloss, or high-gloss mirror finish, our team mechanically finishes the flooring to meet your expectations. Light etches, scuffs, and scratches are addressed during this process, although we may need to do more intensive resurfacing to remove deeper imperfections.

Step 5: Cleaning

Proper cleaning is crucial to maintain the beauty and durability of your natural stone floors. We use the appropriate cleaning agents, brush by hand or machine, and rinse with clear water. This tailored cleaning method works miracles on your floors so they’re free from grime and ready for the last step.

Step 6: Sealing

The final step involves sealing your stone floors to protect them and make maintaining them in the future a much easier process. We apply a clear sealer matched to your specific stone type, which helps guard against stains and wear. Depending on what you prefer, we can apply an enhancer or high-gloss finish to bring even more shine to the flooring.
