Natural Stone vs. Ceramic or Porcelain Tile
Natural stone surfaces are different from ceramic, porcelain, and other synthetic tile. Stone can be softer, more porous, and more sensitive to acidic cleaners. We use specific stone cleaning procedures and products designed to remove soil and contaminants while helping protect the natural surface.
If your floor is ceramic, porcelain, or another synthetic material, please visit our Tile and Grout Cleaning page.

6 Steps to a Beautiful Stone Surface
Stone polishing uses different grit levels depending on the current condition of the stone and the shine you want to achieve. Grit levels cannot be skipped from the starting point to the finish.
- 200 grit: removes minor scratches
- 400 grit: removes etching
- 800 grit: polishes to a matte finish
- 1500 grit: starts to bring a shine
- 3000 grit: gives a mirror-like shine
- 11000 grit: gives the stone a wet look
If your stone is dull, scratched, or discolored, more grit levels may be needed to work out the damage. If the stone has minimal damage, we may be able to start at a higher grit level and work up to the desired shine.

Stone Tile Cleaning FAQ
Do you clean marble floors?
Yes. We clean and polish marble floors and other natural stone surfaces.
Can you polish dull stone?
Yes. Depending on the condition of the stone, polishing with different grit levels can help restore shine, from a matte finish to a high-gloss wet look.
Do you seal natural stone?
Yes. We apply penetrating sealer to help protect the stone surface from soiling and staining.
How is stone tile cleaning different from tile and grout cleaning?
Natural stone is often softer and more porous than ceramic or porcelain tile. It requires stone-safe cleaning products and may need polishing or sealing. Ceramic and porcelain tile should be handled through our tile and grout cleaning service.
Do I need an in-home estimate?
Because stone surfaces vary by material, condition, coating, damage, and desired shine level, an in-home evaluation is often the best way to provide an accurate quote.
