Protect Natural Stone against Acid Damage

Protecting natural stone against acid damage is essential for preserving its integrity and appearance over time. The most effective approach is to promptly seal any spills and clean them immediately.

Natural stone is susceptible to acids due to its composition. Exposure to acidic substances like citrus juices, soda, wine, and champagne can cause etching or corrosion of the surface. This can result in noticeable marks, especially on polished or finely honed surfaces.

To prevent such damage, it's crucial to apply a sealer to natural stone surfaces. Sealing creates a protective barrier that shields the stone from acid exposure, thereby improving its longevity.

Due to its high porosity, sealing natural stone is crucial to protect it from potential acid damage and liquid spills.

If acidic substances come into contact with your natural stone surface, quick cleaning is essential to prevent lasting damage.

  • Given natural stone's sensitivity to acids, immediate spill cleanup is vital to prevent permanent staining and etching. It's also recommended to minimize water usage during cleaning to reduce potential harm.
Common Misconception

It's important to understand that an impregnating sealer, while providing immediate protection upon contact, may not completely shield the surface of natural stone from acids, which can cause etching. For instance, a spill of red wine left unattended for a prolonged period can lead to acid etching into the surface. Therefore, prompt cleaning of spills is critical!
