Removing Stains from Slate Merrimac - Gold Coast

Prevention is always preferable to treatment, so if you've properly sealed your slatestone in Merrimac, 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 Merrimac, such as vinegar or citrus, as it can cause etching or damage to your slatestone.

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

  Slatestone Penetrating Impregnating Sealers

Use a commercial poultice product designed for slatestone in Merrimac.

A poultice typically consists of ground chalk (whiting) and hydrogen peroxide, which can be purchased from hardware stores in Merrimac. 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.
