Restore or Replace?

Whilst restoring a limestone kitchen floor for a client last week she tentatively mentioned she also had a boot room! On further investigation it would seem that living in the country owning two large dogs and being a horse rider the boot room was the family route into and out of the house!

The door was kept firmly closed so that no one would see the very dirty floor. It turns out I hadn’t been asked to clean it because it was felt to be ‘beyond’ it and the decision to replace it with new flooring had been made.

Cleaning Limestone:

After seeing the results I had achieved with the rest of the limestone flooring my opinion was sought regarding the boot room. I had no doubt I could achieve a good result saving my client  money as well as the upheaval of having a new floor fitted and moving fitted units etc.

As you can see from the picture, the floor came up remarkably well considering the wear and tear it receives! And we have added it to our 6 monthly maintenance clean visits to keep it looking its best.

Cleaning Maintenance Visits:

We will visit every 6 months and give the floor a really thorough cleaning and reseal to help prevent stains and dirt getting into the limestone. However, it is equally important that it is mopped regularly with a good natural stone floor cleaner. We recommend our specialised stone cleaner for your regular cleaning, which leaves no residue and won’t damage the seal. It is available from us at £12 for a litre bottle.

Having the correct stone cleaning products to hand makes the job easy and straight forward. If you are faced with a challenging routine or are unsure of what products to use it is unlikely that you will stick to the routine. Being confident with your product choice means that you are able to complete the task confidently. Call Cornwell Services today on 07738 022813.
