Limestone Cleaning, Honing & Polishing Services
Limestone is soft and porous, and it etches easily, which is why so many Chicago floors turn dull or stained within a few years. Our limestone restoration for Chicago homes starts by determining whether the damage is surface-level or has penetrated the stone, since that changes the entire approach. Light dulling gets a pH-balanced limestone cleaning across Chicago, safe for porous stone. Etched or scratched spots are addressed through honing to level out the damage, and then a final polish restores the shine. Neglected floors often need crack filling first under our limestone tile restoration work in Chicago buildings.
Can dull or etched limestone be polished again?
Yes. Etching and dullness sit in the top layer of the stone, so limestone tile restoration in Chicago removes them by honing with progressively finer diamonds and then refining to the sheen you want. Deep etch rings from acids may need extra passes, but the stone itself does not need replacing.
Does limestone need to be sealed after cleaning?
Yes. Limestone is highly absorbent, so after limestone cleaning in Chicago we apply a penetrating impregnating sealer that sits below the surface and slows staining from water, oil and wine. Sealer does not stop etching from acids, so we also explain which everyday cleaners are safe to use on your stone.
