Tips for Resealing Limestone Stone Flooring

by Lisa C. Marketing Writer

There is no denying that limestone floors are strong and durable. But there are times when – due to inadequate or non-maintenance – their shine and look fade out. That’s when most homeowners think that they invested in wrong material and start considering floor replacement.

However, if that is your case, it is advisable that you speak to an expert. He/she will suggest you to get your limestone flooring resealed.

And if you are planning to reseal your limestone flooring, here are some of the tips to ease your job –

Do the Necessary Preparations –

To get started, you will need to clean the floor thoroughly. For that, you might want to invest in a good quality limestone or natural stone cleansing solution. Buy it in sufficient quantity, as you may need to clean the floor multiple times.

Determine the Area –

If you have limestone flooring across your home, then you can reseal your flooring in stages - one room at a time. However, it will be a bad idea to seal just one tile on the layout. If you do so, you will have bright new-like tile shining like a star among dark and dull tiles next.

Wear Your Gloves and Clean the Floor –

Safety first! Wear your gloves and goggles. Now, clean the floor as per the instructions gives on the cleanser label.

Dry the floor completely before moving to the next step.

Seal –

It is now time to seal your limestone flooring. Here also, you will need to follow what the manufacturer’s instructions say.

What you can do from your end is to invest a high-quality applicator pad. This will ease your job to a greater extent.

Cover the entire floor in small sections, to prevent sealer from drying and hardening.

Let the limestone floor dry for 12 to 15 hours or an overnight. Wash the floor thoroughly before using it again.
