Limestone Floor Cleaning – Texas Stone & Restoration

Limestone Floor Cleaning & Sealing in North Texas

We specialize in the gentle cleaning, honing, and sealing of delicate limestone floors and surfaces, safely removing dirt and damage to reveal its unique, earthy beauty.

Is Your Limestone Looking Dull, Scratched, or Dirty?

Limestone is a beautiful sedimentary rock that provides a soft, warm feel to any space. However, its composition makes it particularly vulnerable to everyday life:

Extreme Porosity: Limestone absorbs liquids and dirt very easily, leading to deep, embedded soil in the pores and grout lines that simple mopping cannot remove.
High Sensitivity to Acid: As a calcium-carbonate stone, it will etch instantly upon contact with acidic substances like citrus juices, wine, coffee, or harsh cleaning products, leaving dull, cloudy spots.
Scratching & Wear: Being a softer stone, it can easily be scratched by furniture, pets, or even grit on the bottom of shoes, leading to a worn-out appearance in high-traffic areas.
Dullness: Over time, the original finish—whether honed (matte) or polished—can wear away, leaving the entire surface looking flat and lifeless.

Our Specialized Process for Limestone Restoration

Gentle pH-Neutral Deep Cleaning

Step 1

We use a professional stone cleaning machine and a pH-neutral cleaner to safely scrub and extract all the dirt and grime from the pores of the limestone and the grout lines.

Diamond Honing & Refinishing

Step 2

To remove scratches, etches, and wear, we perform a diamond honing service. Using a series of diamond abrasive pads, we can smooth the surface to your desired finish, from a flat, matte honed look to a satin or semi-polished sheen.

Application of Premium Impregnating Sealer

Step 3

This is a non-negotiable step for limestone. We apply a high-quality impregnating sealer that penetrates deep into the stone's pores. This provides a crucial reaction time to clean up spills before they can stain and makes routine maintenance far more effective.

Frequently Asked Questions About Limestone Floor Cleaning

Can you make my limestone floor shiny?

While limestone doesn’t typically achieve the same mirror-like polish as marble, we can certainly bring it to a beautiful, high-satin sheen. However, the most common and practical finish for limestone floors is a clean, matte honed finish.

I have small holes in my limestone. Is that normal?

Yes, small pits and holes are a natural characteristic of many types of limestone. During our restoration process, we can fill these holes with a color-matched epoxy if you desire a smoother, more uniform surface.

How can I clean my limestone floors myself after they are sealed?

We recommend using only a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a microfiber mop. Never use products like vinegar, bleach, or common household floor cleaners, as they will strip the sealer and damage the stone.
