Removing Stains from Slate Ashwood - Melbourne

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

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

Use a commercial poultice product designed for slatestone in Ashwood.

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

Always opt for pH neutralcleaning products when cleaning slatestone surfaces in Ashwood.

Due to the calcium content and porous nature of slatestone, using acidic or harsh cleaners can potentially scratch and harm the surface.
