Removing Stains from Slate The Gap - Brisbane

Prevention is always preferable to treatment, so if you've properly sealed your slatestone in The Gap, you should be able to easily wipe away any potential stains, as long as they haven't been left to set for too long.

It's crucial to avoid using anything acidic in The Gap, such as vinegar or citrus, as it can cause etching or damage to your slatestone.

If you encounter a potential stain in The Gap, you can attempt the following solutions.

Use a commercial poultice product designed for slatestone in The Gap.

A poultice typically consists of ground chalk (whiting) and hydrogen peroxide, which can be purchased from hardware stores in The Gap. Some variations may utilize a different chemical. Follow the instructions provided with the product:

• Wet the poultice with distilled water.
• Apply the poultice to the stain or affected area.
• Allow it to remain in place for 48 hours to dry. During this time, it will absorb into the slatestone.
• Rinse off the poultice. The stain should have vanished.
• Reseal the slatestone with a penetrating sealer

Avoid using acidic substances like vinegar and lemon juice on slatestone countertops in The Gap.
