by Jacob Willam SEO Wizard

John Sandifer of Sandifer's Stone and Tile Care discusses the proper way to care for a natural stone investment, including granite and Travertine tile.

John Sandifer of Sandifer's Stone and Tile Care offers wisdom on the care and maintenance of natural stone from his years of experience in cleaning and repairing these surfaces. "Natural stone is a beautiful investment in your home," says Sandifer. "You should always treat it with the respect you would reserve for any important investment, and use the proper cleaning and maintenance methods to keep it looking beautiful."

According to Sandifer, the cleaning method used on natural stone depends in part on what it is dirtied with in the first place. "The best overall cleaning solution is some pH neutral soap and lots of water," says Sandifer. "Cleaning should always be done with a very soft cloth or sponge to prevent scratching. It is also important to dry the surface as water left standing will produce white spots when it dries."

However, Sandifer is quick to point out that certain jobs are best left to a professional. "If you are not positive that it is safe to clean your stone or marble with a substance, do not try it," he says. "Instead, contact a professional to come and clean your natural stone safely. You should have your stone professionally cleaned periodically to keep it looking great, as well."
