Introduction to
Limestone Floor Restoration

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite or aragonite, which is formed over thousands of years by the accumulation of shells, bones, and other calcium-rich materials. It is a very durable rock that is widely used in construction, landscaping, and other commercial applications. Limestone is also an important part of the global carbon cycle, and is sometimes used as a soil amendment or fertilizer.

Limestone floor restoration is important for making sure your limestone floor retains its beautiful, natural look. Here are a few steps to get your limestone floor looking like new: 

1. Clean the floor. Start by sweeping and vacuuming to remove any dirt, dust, and debris, then mop or steam clean to remove any remaining dirt.

2. Seal the floor. After the floor is dry, apply a sealing agent to help protect the limestone from staining and wear. 

3. Polish the floor. Use a specific type of stone polisher to buff the limestone and bring out its natural shine and texture.

4. Repair any chips or cracks. If your limestone floor has any chips or cracks, you can repair them with a patching compound.
