Top 5 tips for cleaning the Indian Limestone Tiles
2
Indian limestone tiles have rose against the time
trend and making big waves in the domestic and
international housing projects. They figure just
as prominently as marbles, granite and quartzite
in the stone sales. Though they are hard to
conceive in the overall scheme of a modern home
or office design, a little creativity goes a long
way in bringing them close to our idea of cosy
living.

If you are wary of their hard maintenance
routine, here are 5 smart tips provided by the
Indian limestone exporter to shelve your doubts
forever.

1.    Cleaning Interior walls
Cleaning of the internal limestone walls
installed in places like auditorium, kitchen,
living spaces and fire places can be treacherous
if you are not following the industrial standards
of maintenance. Limestone cleaning suggested by
the Indian stone suppliers includes use of mild
detergents, and solvents to remove stains and
spots. Use water-based solution instead of
emulsions as it would not interfere with the
natural appearance of the rock material.

2. High-Pressure water rinsing
You are seeing the dirt accumulating on the
surface of the Indian limestone slabs but you can
neither pinch it out nor scrub it. It would
permanently scratch the surface. Experts dealing
in limestone units recommend use of high-pressure
jet of water. If you are troubled by the idea of
a wet area, use high-pressure dry blower. Both
work equally well.Note Use water pressure of
less than 400 psi. Medium pressure nozzle
delivering 750 psi can also be used, in case
there are deeper grooves involved.

3. Use beer
Alcohol with less carboxylic acid is preferred
for cleaning the limestone stains. If you are
doubtful about the results, dilute a can of beer
into water and swipe soft linen cloth over the
surface. You will end up achieving a super gloss
over the surface. You can repeat the process
every 6 months to keep the spot camouflaged
beautifully under the layer of oxides that form
due to the combination of starch and lime.

4. Use graffiti remover polish
A polish of the regular graffiti cleaner also
works just as effectively as any industrial
limestone cleaner. It is far cheaper than the
industrial varnishes. Graffiti remover and polish
should be applied with adhesive to keep the
effect intact for years down the line. Avoid
exposure to direct sunlight. If you are applying
it to the outdoor walls, use a shield or a cover
to keep the adhesive from coming in contact with
sunlight.

5.    Always use mildly acid cleaners
Limewater is considered just fine for cleaning
light spots on the Indian limestone tiles. You
can also use diluted hydrochloric acid or acetic
acid. If you are short of supplies, use vinegar
instead. It easily cleans off the spots like
greasy finger prints, blood marks, squatted
insect parts, boot polish and even ketchup. Dont
scrub the surface too hard. The other enamel of
the tile and slabs made of limestone is fairly
resistant to the chemical action. A thinned-down
enamel will expose the internal layers to
corrosion in the long run.
