Stone Cleaning and Sealing

All American Carpet & Tile is certified in the cleaning, polishing, and sealing of hard surface floors and countertops. Since 1993, owner Mike Bruno and our skilled team of technicians have been providing quality floor cleaning services to San Diego property owners. One of the areas we specialize in is the cleaning, filling, honing, polishing, and sealing of stone floors and countertops made of travertine, limestone, quartz, slate, marble, or granite. The technicians of All American Carpet & Tile will customize the stone cleaning process based on the type of stone that is installed, along with the property owners’ aesthetic preferences.

The stone cleaning process is similar to the tile and grout cleaning process. All American Carpet & Tile’s technicians use state-of-the-art technology to pressure wash stone floors with a mixture of hot water and stone-safe cleaning solution. The enclosed vacuum system concurrently suctions the dirty water and excess cleaning solution into a separate compartment. This is a highly effective cleaning method that thoroughly removes built-up grime while minimizing overspray and puddles so surrounding cabinets, fixtures, and carpets remain completely dry.

Stone is a porous material. Travertine, the most commonly used stone floor material, is particularly porous. It’s uneven surface and natural holes tend to trap dirt. As stone floors wear, these holes gradually grow in size and accumulate debris. Property owners have the option of having these holes filled with an epoxy or another hardening material. Filling these holes prevents grime from getting embedded within the surface of the floor, and the filling material can be polished to shine.

Property owners have the choice of having their stone floors honed or polished. Honing and polishing involves the use of a weighted floor machine with diamond pads to buff the floor. This process removes gouges and scratches and also restores the floor’s natural shine.

Customers of All American Carpet & Tile have the choice of three sealers.

The technicians at All American Carpet & Tile clean all types of stone flooring, including honed travertine, tumbled travertine, limestone, quartz, granite, marble, and slate.
