Slate can be an excellent choice for flooring, being extremely durable whilst being available in a variety of colors, shapes and textures. It is a fine grained homogeneous metamorphic rock which when professionally installed can give a sophisticated look and add to the ambience of any location.
Slate can be relatively easy to clean, but only if a number of steps are taken to keep the floor in good condition - which can, in itself, be a laborious task. It is important to remember that slate is a very porous substance, meaning that even after the application of a sealant; the floor can be stained by any spillages or even by a gradual buildup of stains, bacteria and soil deposits over time.
Felt Furniture Protectors
One can protect slate by taking care to remove shoes before walking on the surface, putting felt pads on any furniture in contact with the slate, sweeping the floor to remove all dust and dirt residue and cleaning any spillages immediately. However this can be a task which is easily overlooked and this is where the problems occur.
Taking a quick look at the soles of your shoes will reveal reasons as to why slate floors can become dirty and stained over time. The soles of our shoes have particles of sand or dirt picked up from our everyday lives, and it is these particles that grind and cause abrasions and tiny surface scratching - which leads to a gradual change in appearance.
By the time any staining becomes visible and noticeable, layers of stains and bacteria have built up which leads to the traditional methods of cleaning, and the chemicals used, becoming ineffective. It is at this time you may need to consider the use of a professional slate floor cleaning company which can restore heavily soiled slate to its original state.
Once the floor has been cleaned and restored the next step is to consider its ongoing maintenance. As previously mentioned, if due care isn't taken slate can quickly become soiled again, and professional companies use a water based sealer which will offer ongoing protection for your slate floor, and will facilitate easier and more effective future cleaning.
