Stone Floor Cleaning in Chesapeake and Hampton, VA
Stone floors add elegance and beauty to homes and businesses. However, their luster can be diminished and their finishes dulled by indifferent maintenance practices as well as stains, spills, scuffs, gouges, dirt, and debris. When these issues impact your property in Hampton, Norfolk, Suffolk, Chesapeake, and other cities we serve in Virginia, Master Kleen will set things right once again.
For more than 30 years, our crews have provided top-notch stone floor cleaning services, including honing, polishing, and sealing. Master Kleen's professional cleaners understand that the best way to deal with a masonry stone in an outdoor setting is to pressure wash the floor on a low-to-medium setting with a non-ionic detergent. It is important to use a neutral cleaner, stone soap, and warm water. Too much cleaner can leave streaks and film on the stone surface.
Stone floors in an indoor setting will require an entirely different approach. The one constant, however, is to reach out to Master Kleen for the best approach for stone floor cleaning services at your home or office in Virginia.
Indoor stone floors, in most cases, are best cleaned by using steam or a mild detergent. For steam cleaning, we use a temperature of 320°F and 250 psi to remove algae and mold without damaging the stone. Once the stone is clean, we use a sealer for added protection and to make future cleanings easier.
Our crews have a long and proud history of restoring stone floors to their original state with services for cleaning, honing, polishing, and sealing. Also, we remove etches and scratches to make your stone floors look and feel brand new again. When you are ready to upgrade the look of your marble floors, slate floors, or limestone floors, reach out to our proven professionals from Master Kleen. We will provide results!

Limestone is a sedimentary stone and is more difficult to maintain than marble. It is commonly utilized inside as sinks, counters, walls, and flooring and may be ground, polished, and sealed.
Granite is an igneous stone that requires a minimal degree of upkeep because it its high heat resistance and composition. It’s used anywhere from floors to monuments.
The most common form of metamorphic stone is granite and must be regularly cared for. It’s found inside and outdoors, from steps to windows and sculptures to countertops, and so on.
Slate is a sedimentary stone that has a traditional appearance. It is mostly utilized as a paver tile for both indoor and outdoor applications. (Please note: we only work with slate floors and only offer cleaning services)
Travertine is a sedimentary stone that is highly porous, so it needs additional cleaning and void filling. It may be utilized both indoors and outdoors and can also be ground, polished, and sealed.
Terrazzo is made by a process in which stone fragments are cemented to a base. Freshly cleaned terrazzo flooring, whether in your home or workplace, makes a lasting impression. (Please note: we only work with terrazzo floors)
Caring for Stone Floors Between Master Kleen Visits
Caring for stone floors is essential because stone floors can move, crack, and become uneven. Some tips to keep them shiny between visits by our technicians:
- Sweep daily: This removes dirt that scratches surfaces.
- Avoid harsh cleaners: Acidic cleaners, bleach, or alkaline-based cleaners can damage the stone.
- Use a pH-neutral cleaner: A pH-neutral cleaner is best for natural stone.
- Use a soft brush: For soft stones like marble or travertine, use a damp mop instead of a brush.
- Use baking soda for stains: Apply a paste of water and baking soda for 24 hours to remove stains.
- Use a grout brush: A grout brush and a cleaner with no ammonia & no phosphates are best for grout.
