If you want to show off your bathroom and you want to make a visual impact then using natural stone in the shower is a great way to go. The look that a natural stone shower enclosure offers is beautiful. There are lots of stones that are great to use in a bathroom to add some elegance and poise to the space. You can use travertine, granite or slate to name a few of the most common. They are all great in a bathroom and especially in a shower stall as long as it is installed and sealed properly. You want to make sure that you do what you can to care for your shower stone so that it does not become damaged. When the stone becomes damaged or the grout is loose it can let water behind the stone. This can lead to mold and mildew to grow as well as the stone will come lose and fall off the wall. It is a space that you want to take good care of.
Silver State Floor Restoration Outlines How to Clean Natural Stone Surfaces in Showers
Always Remove Excess Water from Natural Stone: One of the things that you want to do when you are trying to care for your shower stone is to remove any excess water. After you have had a shower you want to make sure that you of course rinse down any soaps that may still be on the walls or other surfaces. This will make sure that there are no soaps that will start to build up scum on the walls. The next thing that you need to do is to make sure that you wipe off any excess water that is pooling around the floors or even on the walls. This can possibly be done with a squeegee or a cloth that will remove most of the water so that it will not stick on the walls. When it does stay on the stone it will start to create hard water stains. The hard water stains are hard to remove if you allow them to stay on the stone.
Clean the Grout: The grout is a big part of the tile that is used inside your shower. The shower needs to be able to withstand the water and the moisture that comes when showering in the room. The problem comes when you let any damage happen to the grout. This is the line that will keep the moisture away from the back of the tile. You want to have the grout cleaned professionally to be sure that they inspect for damage as well.
Professional Natural Stone Sealing: When you have stone tile you want to make sure that you treat is the same as you would if you have stone tiles on the kitchen floor. You want to be sure that your bathroom shower stone is cleaned on a regular basis followed up by sealing it and then a polish to get the shine that you want. The polish is often not taken too far so that the stone is not too slippery.
