Question 1

Q: What’s the Correct Application Method for Stone Sealant?

Accepted Answer

A: The correct application ensures maximum penetration and long-lasting protection—follow these key steps tailored to stone’s porosity:

First, prep the surface: Clean the stone with a pH-neutral, stone-specific cleaner to remove dirt, grease, or old sealant residue. Avoid acidic cleaners (they damage marble/limestone). Rinse thoroughly and let the stone dry completely (24–48 hours for porous types like travertine—moisture blocks sealant absorption).

Next, apply the sealant: Use a clean microfiber cloth, sponge, or low-pressure sprayer (for large areas). Work in small 2–3㎡ sections to avoid drying before absorption. Apply a thin, even coat—overapplying causes sticky residue or cloudy films.

Then, let it penetrate: Wait 5–15 minutes (longer for porous stone) to let the sealant soak into pores. If the surface dries quickly, mist with a little water to extend absorption time.

Finally, remove excess: Wipe away unabsorbed sealant with a dry cloth using circular motions. Let the sealed stone cure for 24 hours (avoid foot traffic/spills) — porous stones may need a second thin coat after the first cures, if recommended by the manufacturer.

Always test on a hidden spot first to check for discoloration.

Question 2

Q: How Often Should I Apply Stone Sealant?

Accepted Answer

A: The frequency of stone sealant application depends on three core factors: stone type, usage environment, and foot/use traffic, with no one-size-fits-all timeline—but clear guidelines exist.

For common indoor stones: Polished granite or marble countertops (moderate use, occasional spills) need resealing every 12–18 months. High-porosity stones like travertine or limestone (more absorbent) require more frequent applications—every 6–12 months—especially in kitchens/bathrooms with moisture.

Outdoor stone (e.g., patio pavers, garden slabs) faces harsher conditions (rain, UV, temperature swings), so reseal every 1–2 years; solvent-based sealants (more durable) may extend this to 2–3 years.

High-traffic commercial areas (mall marble floors, hotel lobbies) need checks every 6 months. Do a water-bead test to confirm: drop water on the stone—if it beads up, the sealant works; if absorbed within 10–15 minutes, it’s time to reseal. Always follow the sealant manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific stone.

Question 3

Q: Can I Use the Same Care Products for All Stone Types?

Accepted Answer

A: No—you cannot use universal care products for all stone types, as their composition, porosity, and chemical tolerance vary drastically, leading to damage if mismatched.

For example, calcium-based stones (marble, limestone, travertine) are sensitive to acidic products (e.g., vinegar, citrus cleaners)—these etch their surface, leaving permanent dull marks. They need pH-neutral cleaners and breathable sealants to avoid trapped moisture.

In contrast, silicate-based stones (granite, quartzite) are more acid-resistant but still require products formulated for their density—using heavy-duty scrubbers or high-gloss polishes meant for marble can scratch granite’s polished surface.

Porous stones (e.g., sandstone) need deeper-penetrating sealants, while non-porous quartzite may only need light cleaners. Always check product labels for stone compatibility, and test on an inconspicuous spot first. Using the wrong product risks discoloration, etching, or reduced longevity.

Question 4

Q: How do I store stone care products?

Accepted Answer

A: Proper storage preserves the effectiveness of stone care products and prevents safety risks—follow these guidelines:

First, choose a cool, dry, well-ventilated area (ideal temperature: 5–35°C). Avoid extreme heat (e.g., near heaters) or cold (e.g., unheated garages in winter): heat can cause solvent-based sealants to evaporate or leak, while cold may freeze water-based cleaners, breaking down their formulas.

Second, seal containers tightly after use. For sealants or polishes with narrow nozzles, wipe residue from openings before capping to prevent clogs. Never transfer products to unlabeled containers—mix-ups (e.g., storing cleaner in a sealant bottle) risk stone damage or chemical reactions.

Third, separate solvent-based and water-based products to avoid cross-contamination. Keep all products away from children, pets, and ignition sources (e.g., matches, electrical outlets)—solvent-based sealants are flammable.

Finally, check expiration dates regularly; discard expired products (they lose potency or may become corrosive). Always follow the manufacturer’s storage instructions, as some specialty products (e.g., stone etch removers) have unique requirements.

Question 5

Q: What Safety Precautions Should I Take When Using Stone Care Products?

Accepted Answer

A: To use stone care products safely and avoid harm or damage, follow these key precautions:

First, ensure proper ventilation: Open windows or use exhaust fans, especially for solvent-based sealants/polishes (they emit VOCs). Poor airflow can cause dizziness or respiratory irritation—never use such products in enclosed, unventilated spaces.

Second, wear protective gear: Nitrile gloves (avoid latex, which may react with chemicals) prevent skin contact with corrosive cleaners; safety goggles shield eyes from splashes. For dusty products (e.g., stone powders) or strong fumes, add a disposable face mask.

Third, never mix products: Different formulas (e.g., acidic cleaner + ammonia-based sealant) can react to release toxic gases or cause explosions. Stick to one product at a time, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.

Finally, clean up spills immediately (use absorbent cloths for liquid products) and store tools away from food/children. If product touches skin/eyes, rinse with cool water for 15 minutes and seek medical help if irritation persists.
