Stone Cleaning Services

Six Solve cleans natural stone surfaces that include limestone, flagstone, sandstone, lueders limestone, travertine, and other natural stone types. We clean natural stone structures such as sandstone patios, flagstone pool decks, limestone chimneys, travertine pool coping, and natural stone tile. After your stone is clean, we can also provide quality stone sealing services to help protect your natural stone surfaces.

Stone cleaning requires care to restore beauty to stone surfaces. Cleaning natural stone such as limestone, sandstone, flagstone, and travertine with high pressure has the potential to damage stone by chipping stone away or leaving streaks in the stone surface, so caution must be exercised when applying high pressure to stone. As an alternative to cleaning natural stone tile or structures with high pressure, stone can be cleaned with soft washing. Soft washing is a process which uses detergents to lift contaminants away from surfaces. The contaminants can then be rinsed away with low-pressure water.

The ingredients needed soft wash stone include bleach (sodium hypochlorite, also known as chlorine), a bleach-stable surfactant, and water. The bleach, surfactant, and water are combined into a solution and applied to the natural stone surface. The soft wash solution is allowed to dwell on the stone surface, and organic contaminants such as algae, mold, and fungi change color. Once the stone is cleaned to satisfaction, the soft wash solution is thoroughly rinsed from the stone surface. The sodium hypochlorite concentration in the solution will need to be at least 3%, but higher concentrations may be required. Care should be taken when working with high concentrations of bleach. Vegetation should be pre-soaked to prevent any runoff from burning the vegetation, and the bleach solution should be prevented from drying on the stone surface.

Six Solve provides quality stone cleaning services. We use professional-grade bleach and surfactants to soft wash stone patios, stone walls, stone houses, stone pool decks, stone chimneys, stone tile, and stone landscaping. If we need to apply any high pressure to the stone surface, we limit the amount of pressure applied to the stone, apply the pressure consistently, and begin with a test spot in an inconspicuous area to verify the stone’s strength. Additionally, we offer a satisfaction guarantee for all our services, so you can hire Six Solve to clean your limestone, flagstone, sandstone, travertine, lueders limestone, natural stone tile, and other natural stone types with confidence!
