🛡️ Master Maintenance Guides

Restoring a floor is only the first step. 80% of the durability of the shine depends on daily maintenance. In this professional guide we reveal what most ignore: which products destroy your investment and how to clean correctly so that the result lasts for years.

The Silent "Enemies" of your Soil

Many homes accelerate the wear and tear of their floors by using popular household products but highly aggressive. Avoid at all costs:

  • Vinegar and lemon Its acidity (pH ~2-3) corrodes the surface layer of marble and terrazzo. The gloss irreversibly becomes matte.
  • Bleach (chlorine) and ammonia They discolor pigments and leave residues that attract more dirt.
  • Scouring pads and hard brushes They scratch the polished layer, creating microgrooves where dirt becomes embedded.
  • Soaked mops or excess water Stagnant water penetrates causing white spots and detachments.

The Ideal Maintenance Kit

After a professional intervention, your floor needs a simple but disciplined routine:

1. Daily Cleaning (Dry)

Dust and sand act like "microscopic sandpaper."

  • Remove them daily with an electrostatic mop or gentle vacuum cleaner.
  • Avoid hard brooms that scratch the surface.

2. Weekly Scrubbing (Wet)

Only use neutral pH soap (pH 7).

  • Dilute in warm water, wet the mop and drain it well.
  • It happens in long passes. Don't leave puddles.

3. Immediate Drying

The secret to long-lasting shine.

  • After scrubbing, spend a dry microfiber cloth.
  • Drying in 2 minutes multiplies the useful life of the treatment.

4. Monthly Maintenance

Optional but highly recommended.

  • Apply eco-friendly liquid wax or shine renewer every 3-6 months.
  • In high traffic areas, use an absorbent mat.

Marble / Natural Stone Daily (dry) + Weekly (wet) Neutral pH soap + microfiber Zero acids, zero excess water

Pro Trick: The "3 Minute Puddle" Test

To know if your floor is well sealed or needs maintenance:

  1. Pour 3 tablespoons of water in an inconspicuous area.
  2. If the water forms beads and is not absorbed within 3 minutes → Intact seal.
  3. If it darkens or penetrates → Needs reapplication of protector or wax.
