What should you know about the first few days?
Respect the recommended time before walking on, covering, mopping, or returning furniture to the surface. A sealer may feel dry before it has fully cured.
Use clean protective pads on furniture legs and avoid dragging anything across the floor. Keep rugs and moisture away until the technician confirms they can return.
What should you know about the long-term routine?
Sweep or dust regularly, clean spills promptly, and use a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Clean mats and soft tools help keep grit from becoming abrasive underfoot.
Schedule a check based on traffic and absorption rather than waiting for the finish to fail. Early maintenance is usually simpler than correcting years of buildup.
Quick checklist
- Identify the stone and existing finish before selecting a product.
- Record the symptom and which cleaning methods have already been tried.
- Compare the proposed treatment with a representative sample where appropriate.
- Keep the agreed scope and material-specific aftercare instructions together.

What should I include when requesting an assessment for aftercare?
Describe the stone, where it is installed, the finish you want to keep or change, and what happened before the problem appeared. Share any previous treatments or cleaner labels. Photographs help explain the concern, but an on-site assessment may still be needed to establish the appropriate scope and limitations.
