Natural Stone Restoration for Hotels

Natural stones are the most popular choice for adding elegance and class to hotel lobbies, corridors, and suites. Apart from their attractive style, these rocks are resistant to dirt, debris, and mold, which increases their durability and makes them a preferable choice for hotel owners. However, their one downfall is that they do not effectively stand the test of time.

Natural stone flooring eventually wears down and gives off a negative and unwelcoming impression to your hotel guests. The solution to this problem is to hire a professional team for natural stone restoration. 

With expertise in cleaning, sealing, and polishing, we at Monreal Maintenance take great pride in offering the best natural stone restoration services for hotels. 

Type of Natural Stones 

Natural stones are an umbrella term and include different types of mountain-born materials. Knowing the exact type of stone can help provide better and more impressive restoration services. Natural stone options commonly used for interior surfaces include:

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a mixture of many natural stones and, therefore, the most complex type to restore. But we can transform this into a smooth and flawless form in no time. 

Travertine

This stone derives from limestone and, like its predecessor, is incredibly porous. Therefore, restoring travertine involves filling, cleaning, and sealing all present openings to stop dirt and mold from collecting inside the cracks. 

Granite

Granite is most commonly used in countertops and bathrooms of lavish hotels. Durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain, this stone is one-of-a-kind. Its only downside is that it can get easily stained. 

Hence, we pay extra attention while scrubbing marks off the surface, filling and sealing any present cracks produced due to long-term use. 

Marble

Used for flooring in lobbies, hallways, and staircases, marble is one of the most used natural stones in hotels. Since these floors have heavy foot traffic, our cleaning and polishing services take special care in giving them the shine which gives the impression that they have never been used!

Natural Stone Care for Hotels

Sometimes, all your natural stone surfaces need is extra care to keep them in top-notch condition. 

Some clear-cut indicators which notify you that it is time to call natural stone restoration services are stubborn marks, ugly scratches, visible cracks, and dull surfaces. 

Below are a few cleaning practices that can help prevent the presence of these indicators in the long run.

For Scratches and Cracks

Make sure to use rough carpets and mats on floors where there is heavy traffic. Use a dry mop to dust off the dirt and keep abrasive materials away from the ground. When using a vacuum cleaner, ensure it is free from sharp, worn-out parts that may scratch the surface. To prevent cracks, don’t place heavy materials on slabs and countertops. Using trivets can also help protect the surface from chipping away. 

For Stains and Dullness

When cleaning natural stone countertops, always use warm water with an acid-free soap, disinfectant, and soft fabric. Remember to give the surface time to dry naturally, or it will build up the film. 

As for floors, protect them from oil spillages, alcohol, and citrusy substances using beermats.

Practicing these easy habits can help you to keep your natural stone surfaces in pristine condition.  However, if the time for implementing these practices has passed and the damage is already done, don’t worry.
