In modern home decoration, more and more people choose stone as the main material for home decoration, such as flooring, countertops, dining tables, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Using stone as the main decoration material is both beautiful and atmospheric.
However, when summer comes and there is abundant rainfall, the stone in this humid environment is also prone to mold growth. Long term use of moldy stone not only affects aesthetics but also health. So, how can we prevent mold from appearing on the stone and how should we deal with mold on the surface of the stone?
There are actually good ways to prevent mold stains:
(1) Maintain a certain level of cleanliness on the surface of the stone.
Because there are many capillary pores inside the stone, common stains in daily life such as sewage, tea, juice, and even oil stains can penetrate into the interior of the stone through the capillary pores, causing a qualitative change and the appearance of mold spots.
(2) Maintain the dryness of the stone surface.
The growth of mold on stone is mostly related to water. In daily life, attention should be paid to ventilation. In damp places such as kitchens and bathrooms, it is necessary to wipe off the liquid in a timely manner after use. For households with conditions, air conditioning can be used for treatment.
(3) Choosing stone protectants is also a good way.
Applying protective agent to stone is like making a layer of facial mask to stone. With daily care, our stone can achieve the same shiny effect.
After mold spots appear on the surface of the stone, stone cleaning agents can also be used to clean it.
Wet the surface of the stone with clean water first; Brush the stone cleaning agent onto the surface of the stone, and the amount can be diluted according to the actual situation; After waiting for a reaction time of twenty minutes, use a small brush to clean the more severe areas. When encountering mold growth in dark marble, heavy calcium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide supplement ointment can also be used for cleaning.
By doing so, our stones will become healthier and our homes will become more beautiful!
