Cleaning Black Limestone Slabs

[gordon1962]

Hope someone can help, I have laid the limestone slabs for over a year now, unfortunately I wasn't told to seal the slabs. My son's friend was sick over the slabs, my son left it for a week then tried to clean it by throwing soap and water over it, when we were on holiday. It now is a mess and I tried to clean it with the power washer with no luck. Please help!!

It was the acid in the vomit that would have etched the limestone.

Not one I have tried to clean and Indian black limestone will be a mare to get back to normal.

Try contacting LTP tech line and maybe mark or Richard will offer a solution.

Is the limestone polished or honed?

Buy an inexpensive floor steamer. If you have limestone tile surfaces you will use your machine often enough to justify the cost. Some limestone may not be a good choice for bathrooms or wet applications where hard water may come into regular contact with the stone. Drying your tiles is the best way to keep them looking good. Honed tiles require deep cleaning more often, even when well sealed.
