Common Sandstone Problems

Sandstone’s porous, grainy surface absorbs and holds what lands on it:

  • Dark, dirty patches. Dirt soaks into the stone.
  • Algae and moss. Shady, damp areas grow green and black growth.
  • Leaf and tannin stains. Fallen leaves leave brown marks.
  • Mineral deposits. Sprinklers leave white spots.
  • Surface erosion. Harsh cleaning wears sandstone away.

Our Sandstone Cleaning Process

  1. Inspection. We identify the sandstone and its finish and check the grout and any existing sealer.
  2. Preparation. We protect walls, baseboards, and nearby surfaces. Our technicians can move small, light furniture. We don’t move heavy or fragile items, so please clear those before we arrive.
  3. Gentle cleaning. We use stone-safe cleaners and a careful technique so the soft surface isn’t worn away.
  4. Stain and growth treatment. We treat algae, leaf stains, and mineral spots.
  5. Rinse and dry. Sandstone needs to dry fully before sealing.
  6. Sealing. If we seal, allow 24 to 48 hours for the sealer to cure before normal use and mopping.
