Sealing Slate in Showers Pelican Point - Bunbury

If you prefer the aesthetic of natural stone, SlateStone is an excellent option for your shower in Pelican Point!

SlateStone offers a subdued natural appearance in your bathroom, distinct from the high gloss of marble or granite.

However, SlateStone is a delicate and soft stone, requiring proper maintenance, especially when used in a bathroom or shower in Pelican Point, to preserve its desired appearance.

Using the appropriate cleaning products is crucial, as many consumer-level shower cleaners can be acidic and caustic, potentially causing discoloration and etch marks on delicate SlateStone tiles.

Regularly cleaning soap scum and hard water deposits is vital in a SlateStone shower. If allowed to accumulate, soap scum can be challenging to remove from delicate SlateStone without causing scratches. Preventing the buildup of soap scum and hard water deposits is key to maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of your SlateStone shower in Pelican Point.

Applying a high-quality penetrating Slatestone sealer will safeguard your SlateStone from the damaging effects of shower water and prevent the absorption of soap scum and hard water deposits, ensuring its longevity and preserving its appearance.

Caring for SlateStone Showers in Pelican Point

When incorporating SlateStone into your shower in Pelican Point, it's crucial to prioritize care and maintenance. SlateStone, being porous, is susceptible to damage from acids, which can erode the stone. Therefore, it's imperative to apply a high-quality deep penetrating sealer to SlateStone surfaces.

To maintain SlateStone surfaces effectively in your shower, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Immediately wipe away spills and clean SlateStone with a gentle pH-neutral or alkaline-based cleaner. Avoid using acid-based cleaners.
  • Avoid placing toiletries directly on SlateStone surfaces, as the oils and chemicals they contain can cause damage. Instead, store toiletries in a cupboard or on a tray.
  • After showering, wipe SlateStone dry to prevent the accumulation of soap scum and hard water deposits. Consider using liquid soap, as it won't leave behind a chalky soap scum film like bar soaps.
  • SlateStone is delicate, so avoid using abrasive scrub pads or brushes that can scratch or dull its finish.
  • Regularly clean and remove soap scum to prevent the formation of calcium and lime deposits, which can damage SlateStone over time. Soap scum and shampoo deposits may also leave behind a chalky residue, detracting from the appearance of the shower.
