Techniques Of Maintaining Stone Shower Surrounds

By Ann Ross


Stone shower surrounds can be in different forms depending on a clients preference. This could range between well-polished walls that reflect light to surfaces that are not too shiny or reflect much light to fairly rough surfaces. The natural stone that one decides to use should be easy to maintain and luxurious as per a clients preference.

Understanding the type of stone used also is very important such that when it comes to making decisions related to cleaning. Siliceous pebble is easy to clean, lasts for a long period of time but only with less acidic cleaning products. Calcareous pebble on the other hand highly reacts to acidic products since its content is composed of calcium carbonate so knowledge in this field helps in better cleaning plans.

When deciding on the grits to be used in grit showers one needs to know the pros and cons of choosing a particular kind of grit. This means that regular assessment of the shower walls should be implemented so that one can know whether the wall needs to be replaced, polished, sealed or the most appropriate method to remove different kinds of stains.

Depending on the size of a room or an institution that needs regular cleaning, there must be controlled cleaning of the floors leading to the bathrooms. Basic precautions include having bathmats that are anti-slipping, a signpost must be made available to alert on whether there is a wet floor, frequent cleaning and drying of grit shower walls also should be a priority to avoid accidents.

Cleaning procedures and precautions should be well known through manuals that come with the products. This could also apply to Mable floors which when cleaning there should be a requirement to have signs showing that the floor to avoid unnecessary accidents. Measures such as having carpets and bath mats, having dry floors and also have a routine of frequent mopping.

Sealing is also very crucial this is because walls need to be treated and depending on the type of grit the appropriate sealer should be used. Topical sealers are meant to prevent the surface from water, spills and any other contaminants, impregnators, on the other hand, are water-based meaning they can penetrate the surface, they prevent contaminants and have vapour transmission.

Hard water contains minerals such as Calcium and lime and this means that when a bathroom has a grit, these minerals will clog on walls and could cause damage to the stones. Although there are products to get rid of these minerals they could still damage the grits that is why regular cleaning of bathrooms is important since it prevents accumulation of these minerals.

In conclusion, knowledge about the type of grit used in these shower walls should be the first priority, marble and travertine are the most common types of stone in bathrooms. Then understanding that pebble needs proper care and maintenance by ensuring they are sealed, dry mostly and replaced if broken most appropriate detergents and dos and donts of cleaning.
