7 Tips to Refinish Your Old & Dull Limestone Flooring

Limestone tiles are known for their close resemblance to marble. Although limestone is highly strong and durable, it often loses its shine and look because of use-abuse and non-maintenance. Technically, it loses its finish, which you can consider restore by your own or getting it done by a professional floor maintenance service. 

If you are consider a DIY, here are some of the tips to help you refinish your old and dull limestone flooring –

1. Get a commercial grade stone floor cleanser.
2. Read the instruction on the product label before cleaning your limestone flooring. It is also advisable to test out the suitability of the cleansing solution over a small region on your flooring. If it works and doesn’t damage the stone, go ahead, clean the entire flooring.
3. Remove all the furniture, baseboards, and other fixtures before getting started with cleaning.
4. You will need work on the stained areas. Use scrubs and buffing pads to rid of the stains from the stone.
5. Wash and rinse the floor well. Let it dry.
6. Now, apply a thin and even layer of limestone sealant over the floor. Use an applicator pad to ensure evenness and for easy application. Let the sealant dry before applying the next layer (if needed).
7. Wash, rinse, and dry the floor before using it again.

DO wear safety gear while performing this job.
