How to Remove Travertine Stains
Travertine is a carbonate rock with a large number of naturally created pores as its major chemical composition. Because of the huge number of pores and water absorption, dust and dirt from the outside can quickly infiltrate and develop black holes, which are difficult to clean and detract from the stone's attractiveness. The stone floor of the hall is easy to wear, scratches and black hole cracks will be seen due to the influence of materials and weather humidity, combined with heavy traffic flow. In the face of a travertine stain, how do you clean it? The following stone Dafu will show you how to clean travertine stains.
Cleaning travertine stains a: final product protection Protect the construction area with finished product protective film, insulation cotton, and other materials before starting. The preservation of unique completed products should be carried out in accordance with Party A's requirements. To avoid causing Party A's loss, finished product protection should be done around the construction region to prevent pollution and damage to finished products, such as moisture, pollution, corrosion, collision, and so on.
The second step in the travertine stain removal method is to apply a protective treatment. Professional stone protecting agents and effective therapy to decrease the occurrence of stone illness. Prevent water spots, rust spots, alkali flooding, and other problems by preventing moisture from the stone surface or cracks from penetrating into the stone interior.
Please follow the directions when using protective agents.
The third step in the travertine stain removal process is to clean the stone's surface.
Clean the stone holes, cracks, and broken dirt with a specific stone cleaning chemical and abrasive brush. Wait 30 minutes after fully brushing the drug into the plate surface holes, so that it and the stains in the holes can have a chemical reaction, improving the cleaning effect, and then use a vacuum cleaner to suck clean the surface precipitates. Observe the holes' cleaning impact and repeat the treatment 2-3 times until the dirt is totally eliminated.
removing stains from travertine Do not use oxalic acid, hydrochloric acid, toilet cleanser, or other acidic medications on travertine staining because these drugs will build an acid layer on the surface of the stone hole, affecting the adhesive force.
The fourth step in the travertine stain removal technique is to repair the stone surface. The larger holes and cracks are fixed with lucite adhesive once the stone has been polished and dried. Choose the lucite glue color that matches the color of the stone for color mixing and filling. Fill the large holes first, then the small holes. The adhesive should expand out of the stone surface while mending the holes. To retain the overall gloss consistency after crystallization, ensure the overall beauty of the stone and the solidity between the fractures.
Scraping glue with a square plate and sawtooth plate alternatively in large repair holes is recommended, since scraping glue helps to clear out the air in the hole, making the glue more full and less likely to fall off.
The fifth and last step in the travertine stain removal method is to grind the entire surface.
Use the grinding machine to polish the entire stone surface, removing scratches, extra rubber layer, wear, and age layer, and restoring the stone's original color. Rough grinding, fine grinding, and fine grinding with 150-3000 mesh pieces are used to remove stone surface scratches and residual rubber marks.
Fine grinding at 300 mesh and 500 mesh can harden the stone surface, restore the color, and improve the color saturation.
Fine grinding at 1000 mesh, 2000 mesh, and 3000 mesh can not only make the stone surface glossy to meet national material supply criteria, but it can also lay a sound foundation.
The sixth and final step in the travertine stain cleaning process is to apply a protective coating. Because the ground is easily contaminated by liquids, tea, and other stains when there is regular access to the population, we chose a stone protective agent in the construction process for processing, to prevent the late stone from being impacted by external pollution. The choice of protective agent should be based on the environment's use and the party's requirements, such as brushing waterproof protective agent to prevent water pollution and brushing oil-proof protective agent to prevent oily pollution.
Recrystallization treatment is the seventh step in the Travertine stain clearing process. For recrystallization, a special stone crystal machine and crystal hardener are used on the stone surface. The production of an effective crystallization layer through 6-9 times of multiple stacking improves the brightness and breathability of the stone surface, increases the visual sense of the stone surface, and makes the surface crystallization layer more wear-resistant and durable.
Precautions for removing travertine stains
Do not wipe the floor with a damp mop when cleaning the hole on a daily basis. Cleaning the floor with a clean dust pusher and dust pusher oil is advised.
