Having granite or other natural stones, such as marble, limestone, travertine, or even slate, in your bathroom, is a becoming an increasingly more popular choice. However, there is something to keep in mind when choosing to use one of these gorgeous natural stones in your bathroom, and that is humidity! As if living in Houston was not humid enough, bathrooms in this humid climate, with their warm showers and baths, might as well be saunas. The issue this proposes is that natural stone is incredibly sensitive to moisture and humidity, especially when it is not properly cared for.   Whenever the heat from your hot water comes into contact with the materials in your bathroom, there can be a large impact. Even if you had all wood, instead of stone, this would still be the case. So what can you do to keep the moisture and humidity from destroying your investment and gorgeous bathroom?   Having your natural stone countertops, showers, sinks, and floors sealed on a regular basis is the only way to preserve the integrity of the stone and keep you natural stone features safe from this very thick moisture.   These powerful sealers we place on your natural stone will help to keep your stone from having issues with the humidity but they also serve as a barrier against superficial scratches, stains, and other unsightly damages that may impact the appearance of your natural stone.   If you have, or are considering, natural stone features in your bathroom, take it seriously!

At Modern Stone Care we work with a wide variety of natural stone flooring. This includes but is not limited to limestone, granite, marble, travertine, and slate flooring. We have spent several years working with these fragile stones, learning how to work around all of their sensitivities in order to preserve their beauty and keep them in strong, lasting condition for years to come. Natural stone, when handled properly can look incredible for decades. Unfortunately, too often natural stone flooring is not given the specific care it needs in order to last. Get the most out of your natural stone flooring with the help of Modern Stone Care.   Below is a list of the steps you should take to keep your natural stone in prime condition for as long as possible:   Natural Stone Cleaning: Natural stone requires frequent dusting, that should only be done with soft and specialized tools, such as a microfiber mop. While at home maintenance is absolutely necessary to preserve your stone flooring. It is equally important to have regular deep cleanings for your stone floors. This is because natural stone is a delicate material that is porous and vulnerable to dirt, dust, and grime.   Natural Stone Sealing: As mentioned, natural stone is porous and sensitive to a wide range of outside factors from dust and grime, to cleaning products and wine. This makes sealing your stone an excellent way to add a little protection to it. When you seal your stone, you are adding a protective layer between the stone and any outside influences that have the potential to harm it.   Natural Stone Polishing: Polishing your natural stone flooring gives it that added touch of glitz and glamour! Polished natural stone elevates your flooring, taking it from a dull lackluster surface, to an eye grabbing reflective floor that catches the light and eyes of all of your guests.
