How to bring back the luster of Limestone Tiles?

Limestone tiles are sedimentary stones that are found under the earth. They are made from deposition of marine animals near the sea bed. These organisms are compressed under the earth for millions of years. Slowly and steadily, they get transformed to the hard wearing natural stone. These tiles are highly popular for outdoor decoration and landscaping.

However, the limestone tiles fade after sometime. You can retain their lives with help of color enhancers. The given below technique helps you, while applying the color enhancer on the tiles.

Visit a hardware store and purchase a color enhancer for the limestone tile. Ask a specialist to recommend a suitable enhancer for your tiling surface.

Every color enhancer has a leaflet that provides instructions for the use of the product. Read the instructions carefully so that you don’t create ant errors.

Firstly, clean the limestone tiles thoroughly. Remove dirt and stains from the surface. This ensures that there is no layer of dirt between the tile and color enhancer.

Now, apply the color enhancer on a soft brush and spread the enhancer on the tile surface. Keep the solution on the tile surface for 15-20 minutes. Allow the enhancer to penetrate inside the stone. Reapply the solution after fifteen minutes. This reapplication is necessary due to porous nature of limestone. Allow the enhancer to settle down.

Now, leave the floor untouched for at least four hours. If the stone is used in area that experiences high foot traffic, then avoid the use of the surface for 24 hours. Allow the enhancer to show its effect and regain its lost luster.

After four hours, clean the flooring with mineral spirits. This process makes the tiles suitable for daily use.

So, purchase a color enhancer to revamp the shine and shimmer of your precious limestone tiles
