Travertine, marble, slate, and granite need different care than porcelain. The wrong cleaner etches and dulls them. Our pros use stone-safe methods to clean, polish, and seal.
Natural stone is softer and more chemically sensitive than ceramic or porcelain tile. Common household and bathroom cleaners are acidic enough to etch marble and travertine, leaving dull spots that no amount of scrubbing buffs out. Stone is also porous, so it stains from spills and grows dull as its factory sealer wears off.
The vetted pros we match you with identify your stone first, then use pH-neutral, stone-specific cleaners and the right pads to clean without etching.
A typical stone service includes a safe deep clean, optional honing or polishing to bring back sheen on marble and travertine, and a penetrating stone sealer that guards against stains and moisture. Sealing is especially important on stone showers and kitchen counters in the Omaha metro, where hard water and daily use wear sealer down fast.
Stone has natural variation and often a slightly cooler, denser feel than porcelain. Travertine has small pits; marble has veining; slate is layered. Send a photo and we'll help you identify it.
Light etching can often be honed and polished out. Deep etching may need professional restoration — your pro will assess it in person and be straight with you.
Most natural stone benefits from resealing every one to two years, sooner for showers and counters that see heavy use and hard water.
