How to Clean a Natural Stone Floor


by DoItYourself Staff

what you'll need

  • Broom and dustpan
  • Neutral PH brand of liquid soap
  • Warm water
  • Clean buckets
  • Sponge-tipped mop

If any area of your home features a natural stone floor, it is important that you familiarize yourself with how to properly clean it. Below are the easy-to-follow steps you will need to take in order to remove dirt from your natural stone flooring.

Step 1 - Dust Your Floor

The first step in cleaning a natural stone floor is to remove any dust with the aid of a broom and dustpan. Alternatively, if you have a mini vac or a regular vacuum cleaner with brush attachments, you can use these cleaning tools instead.

Step 2 - Mop Your Floor

Having vigorously dusted your natural stone floor, it's time to begin mopping. Start by combining a neutral PH brand of liquid soap with warm water in a clean bucket. Then, once your cleaning solution has taken shape, load up your sponge-tipped mop and proceed to give your floor a thorough mopping.

Step 3 - Rinse Your Floor

Once all floor-based filth has been removed, fill another bucket with warm water, load up your mop and proceed to remove any remaining traces of your cleaner. Use a nonabrasive cloth or a dry sponge-tipped mop to subsequently dry the floor.
