Common Issues with Stone Floors
Each type of natural stone presents its own advantages and challenges, and the most suitable cleaning solution depends on the stone type, its location, and level of use. Some of the most common issues we encounter include:
- General wear and tear from foot traffic
- Embedded dust, dirt and debris that leave unsightly marks
- Loss of shine on polished surfaces, making wear more noticeable
- Moisture damage on certain stones if sealants are not correctly applied
- Acid damage from fruit juices, sauces or other household items
- DIY cleaning mistakes that can cause irreparable harm
Even with careful dusting and vacuuming, natural stone will eventually show signs of use. Professional cleaning and maintenance are essential to restore and protect the surface.
Grouting Services for Natural Stone Floors
Grout is softer than stone and tends to show wear first. Being recessed, it traps dust and dirt which can weaken its hold on the tiles and discolour its appearance over time.
We offer a full range of grout repair services for natural stone floors, including over 20 different grout colours to suit unique requirements. Restoring grout not only improves appearance but also helps protect the floor from further damage.
Our Stone Floor Cleaning Process
At Tile & Stone Medic Warwickshire, we follow a professional, step-by-step process to clean and restore natural stone floors:
-
Assessment
We begin by analysing the type of stone you have to determine the most appropriate cleaning solutions and techniques. -
Solution Application
Professional cleaning agents are applied and left to dwell for a short period to loosen dirt, old sealers and contaminants. -
Surface Cleaning
Using rotary cleaners, the solution is worked into the stone, ensuring deep extraction from pores and textured surfaces. -
Rinsing and Extraction
Floors are thoroughly washed with fresh water extraction systems to remove all residues, old sealers and dirt. This process is repeated as necessary to fully neutralise the floor. -
Sealing and Finishing
Once dry, high-quality sealers are applied. Options include:-
Impregnating sealers which do not alter the appearance
-
Matt, satin or high-gloss finishes to achieve the desired aesthetic and protection level
-
Maintaining Your Stone Floors
To preserve your stone floors between professional cleanings:
- Dust and vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt
- Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining
- Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaning products
- Follow our professional guidance for care and maintenance
Regular professional cleaning and sealing will keep your floors looking their best for years to come, whether in a busy home or commercial environment.

FAQs
The process we carry out will depend on your specific floor and the use that it gets. There will be variations for different materials and the finish that you wish to achieve. The process will also be impacted by the full scale of work that we carry out, for example which types of cleaning and restoration are being performed. It is not unusual to apply several layers of sealant if this is necessary and appropriate.
Firstly, a floor should always be sealed when it is first laid. Get in touch with us straight away if this hasn’t been carried out already. It will also need periodic sealing in order to protect the floor on an ongoing basis. How often sealing is required depends on a number of factors such as the specific material used for your flooring and the kind of use it has to survive. For example, a bathroom with natural tiles that is frequently exposed to water may require sealing more often than porcelain tiles in a kitchen. Frequent maintenance, such as sweeping and hoovering up the dust and grit that erodes floors when trodden on can help. Once the sealant is worn away, not only will scratches be more likely, the risk of staining or permanent damage from liquids is drastically increased as there is no protective layer to prevent absorption. If in doubt get in touch with our team of friendly technicians who can discuss your needs.
We have a range of high quality Faber products which will help protect your floors from damage. As every type of floor is different and has myriad uses, we will consult with you to work out the best way to protect your investment. We can apply topical sealants which form a protective layer on top of the floor, or if needed an impregnating sealant, which will be partially absorbed into the stone or tiles. There are many variations of these sealants and as each floor type has unique characteristics and vulnerabilities we can work with you to find and apply the the best kind of protection.
Absolutely. If this was not carried out by those who fitted the floor get in touch immediately to ensure that the appropriate protection can be applied as promptly as possible. We would recommend that this is carried out once the flooring is in place as this means the grout, which is generally more porous, will also be protected.
We apply a sealer to a floor in order to protect it. Different types of floor, both manmade and natural stone, are vulnerable to different sorts of damage. They can all be harmed by chemicals to a certain degree, even by the acid in food and drink spillages, as they will be very slightly porous. As well as this, they can be worn away by physical damage. Even foot traffic can have a big impact if dust or grit has built up on the floor, since it increases abrasions. A sealant will reduce the chance of a spill becoming a stain by reducing the floor’s ability to absorb liquids. It can also help protect the appearance of the floor by forming a protective barrier. A sealant won’t prevent all damage and it will still wear away over time, but it will help your floors last longer, helping protect your investment. Sealants will even help protect your floor from UV radiation which can lead to fading over the lifespan of a high value stone or tiled floor. We can consult with you to find the best sealant for your floor and the type of use it gets to make sure it receives the best form of protection.
We are happy offer advice on best practice to look after your flooring, but it depends on the type of floor you have. Once we’ve had a look at it we’ll be able to help.
