Natural Stone Floor

Natural stone in your home is an investment to protect. Giving you many years of beautiful service. Simple care and maintenance will help preserve your stone’s beauty for generations to come.

Follow these 6 tips for beautifully maintaied stone floors!

Dust, mop or vacuum daily

Removing dust and dirt before it becomes embedded in your tile and grout is a good start. It's the easiest way to keep your floors looking great. We don't recommend Straw brooms. The softer your broom or mop, the better and more gentle it is.

Taking care with your cleaner

Don't use cleaners containing ammonia, acids, bleach or abrasives. There are a wide range of gentle products on the market made specifically for natural stone floors. These are your safest bet.

Cleaning up any spills as soon as possible

If there is a spill. blot it versus wiping and spreading the spill. Sealers are not necessarily 100% effective at keeping stains from appearing, so don't let a spill sit and risk staining your tile and grout.

Using floor mats at your doorways

Placing a door mat on both sides of any doors leading outside to keep grit and dirt at a minimum. Sand and grit will scratch tiles if not managed.

Protect you tiles from furniture

Using protective felt pads on your furniture to avoid scratching and wear and tear. Ensure that you lift heavy furniture to carry, versus pushing or pulling it across your stone floor.

Regular sealing

Following the manufacturer's instructions is a must for sealing your floor and always be sure to stick to the time table recommended.

What Our Customers Say

It Works!

I had rather cheap & porous tiles on the floors of the kitchen, dining & bathroom areas of my house when I bought it but couldn't afford to replace them all. I enquired about a sealer for these tiles but was told there wasn't anything I could do. When I saw this Goddards product I thought I'd give it a go because I have always found that Goddards products do what they are supposed to do, e.g. Silver Dip & cloths. This product has lived up to my expectations despite the initial effort to remove existing stains & build up of other cleaning products. Well done Goddards.
