How to wax a stone

Polishing and maintenance of stone with wax water.

When choosing wax for stone care, try to use wax water without pigment. Stone is a porous material, and wax water containing pigment is easy to cause stone pollution. Or before waxing, confirm that the stone surface has been treated with waterproof or oil-proof curing to prevent pollution.

Many wax water contains acid and alkali substances, which will destroy the natural luster of stone surface and dim the brightness and color of stone. Avoid using acid and alkali substances to contact its surface. For example, acid will decompose carbonate marble, and alkali will corrode feldspar and timely mineral crystals in granite, causing stone surface corrosion, which is not worth the loss. Before use, test the wax water with test paper to understand its properties.

Precautions:

1, marble is not acid and alkali resistant. Juice, coffee, tea, cola and other liquids with slight acidity and alkalinity can corrode the stone surface. So once you find dripping water, wipe it clean and clean it with water. Neutral detergents (such as detergent and hand sanitizer) must be used for daily cleaning.

2, marble stone is soft, low hardness, not wear-resistant, sand and metal hard objects will scratch the stone surface, so the door should be padded with vacuum glue, don't move and drag tables and chairs on the ground, and clean and remove the sand and hard objects on the stone surface in time when cleaning and maintaining.

Because of its material, if water stays on the surface of the stone for a long time, the stone will absorb some water. If it can't be dried in time, stone will have diseases such as pan-alkali, white flower and mildew. Once stone is ill, it will be difficult to treat, especially light-colored marble.

4. During cleaning and maintenance, water consumption should be reduced as much as possible, and water and neutral cleaning agents (such as detergent) should be sucked up in time to keep the stone dry. Generally do waterproof protection before installation.
