Cleaning Limestone
When cleaning any surface it is important to know the surface composition and the composition of the contaminate you are trying to remove. What cleaning materials and methods are going to damage the surface? Inorganic scale and
efflorescence are best removed with soaps and acids or both.
Before beginning the overall cleaning project, test to determine:
- Product suitability
- Application procedures
- Dilution ratio
- Dwell time
- Rinse procedures
