The Best Process to Clean Limestone Tiled Floor
 

Limestone is natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a sedimentary rock with a soft, granular appearance, and varying degrees of hardness. It is highly reactive to acids, so acidic or citrus cleaners can easily react with calcium carbonate that causes damages. Limestone comes with three basic finishes as polished, semi-polished and highly polished. However, unless there is a degree of hardened limestone, never polish the same level as granite or marble. To clean a tile of limestone, it is first necessary to know what the mess is about. The stone is soft, porous and get stained easily and it is also sensitive to hard water. It should be treated with a specific penetrating sealer for such stones to reduce the potential for staining.

To clean limestone floor, you will need a vacuum cleaner, Mop, stone cleaner with neutral pH and soft and dry towels.
