Removing Stains from Slate Alligator Creek - Townsville

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

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

  Slatestone Penetrating Impregnating Sealers

Use a commercial poultice product designed for slatestone in Alligator Creek.

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