Maintaining natural stone floors 

Travertine, Marble, Quartzite, Terrazzo, Limestone, Slate, Granite 

Natural stone brings durability and long-term value to both commercial and residential spaces. It’s also a significant investment that requires expert care from a team that understands how to protect it.

Every type of natural stone behaves differently. Some are calcium-based and more sensitive to certain products; others require different methods to preserve their finish. Understanding these differences is what keeps your floors fresh and long-lasting. 

Where many flooring surfaces can handle standard methods, natural stone cannot. Man-made tiles often require replacement when damaged, but natural stone can typically be restored if maintained properly. With consistent, professional care, most scuffs, spills, and discoloration can be corrected before they become larger issues.

At ServiceMaster Clean, our teams are trained to identify each stone type and apply the right solutions to keep your surfaces looking their best. No matter the service you need, we make caring for your natural stone stress-free.
