Peachtree City Stone Polishing Experts Revitalize This Natural Stone Kitchen Floor

April 11, 2024

Any room can benefit from the unique and gorgeous appearance of a natural stone. Stone is not only fully natural but also scratch, chip, and crack resistant. However, depending on where it's installed, natural stone should be sealed on a regular basis. This stone will regularly come into contact with external substances that may cause it to etch and stain. Removing these imperfections is a difficult task, and in most cases, expert help is required to restore the surface.


That was the case for a resident from Peachtree City, GA. The natural stone floor in her kitchen had become dull and etched after years of wear and tear. She tried a variety of cleaning techniques and practices to remove the damage but none of them worked as well as she'd hoped. She was frustrated and turned to the internet for help. She found a forum where other people had experienced similar problems.

Most people recommended calling a stone polishing professional to restore the surface based on their personal experience. With this in mind, the homeowner searched for Peachtree City Stone Polishing professionals. She came upon our website on the first page of search results. She watched several video testimonials from satisfied customers, and soon after learning that Sir Grout Atlanta was a renowned company, she called to book a free in-home consultation.

On the scheduled day, our team arrived at the client's home to examine the floor. The homeowner walked the experts to the kitchen after welcoming them and after inspecting the surface, our techs found that the etchings and stains on the floor were most likely caused by chemical damage. The homeowner, perplexed, demanded additional information. Though natural stone is resistant to slightly acidic substances, persistent exposure to them can cause it to discolor and etch over time. Despite their resemblance to stains, etch marks can be far more troublesome. They cause surface damage to the stone, which brings the need for honing in order to remove them.

The homeowner realized why her efforts had failed after the brief explanation. She was concerned and asked our team if there was anything they could do to repair the surface. They offered a stone polishing service, as well as a sealing procedure to keep the natural stone protected for a longer period of time. The tiles and grout lines on the floor were dirty, but the damage was not extensive. Pleased with the explanation, the woman accepted our offer and hired us on the spot.

On the appointed day, our technicians returned to the client's home to complete the service. They started by soaking the kitchen floor with a pH-neutral cleaner designed for stone tile and grout. This cleaner also has antifungal qualities that assist to prevent the formation of mold and mildew. They utilized a high-speed scrubber to remove the dirt from the surface after it had become loose.

After cleaning, they used low and mid-grit diamond pads to hone the stone surface and remove etch lines and scratches. They then polished the floor to make it look lovely and shiny. Our experts dried the natural stone and coated it with Stone Armor to complete the kitchen floor restoration. This impregnating sealant is applied to accentuate and enhance the beauty and character of any natural stone, in addition to protecting it from damaging external agents.

The client was blown away by the result. The stone flooring had been thoroughly revitalized by our experts. The homeowner expressed gratitude to our team for their hard work and stated that she would refer Sir Grout Atlanta to her relatives and friends.

Before leaving, our professionals gave the homeowner some advice on how to maintain the kitchen's surface. They first suggested using a pH-neutral, soap-free cleaner like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to clean the floor. Unlike most household cleaners, ours won't harm stone or ceramic tile, and it won't leave any residue behind. They also recommended that both surfaces be kept as dry as possible. This step is critical for extending the sealant's life.
