5 tips for stone walk and patio
Cleaning Blues stone, Slate, Basalt or Granite… for outdoor uses such as walks and patios – requires just as much care and attention to detail as other natural stone inside the home. Here are 5 tips to maintain your outdoor stone walkways, patios and ornate landscapes:
Slate is a good choice for outdoor uses
1. Frequently sealing your outdoor stone surfaces will bring about great surface protection against spills, stains and etching
2. Lift instead of sliding when moving outdoor furniture. This will prevent scratching and damaging stone
3. Use soft brush when cleaning to agitate dirt and grime. Most other brushes are too abrasive on stone
4. Immediately remove fallen debris such as leaves, flowers and other plants from stone surfaces. Or else, they can deteriorate and can stain the surfaces.
5. Use right stone care products instead of regular cleaning liquids.
