Use a couple of times a month to add lustre and shine to antural or engineered stone surfaces.
Clean the stone with Lustro Cleaner to make sure everything is off the surface that you are going to treat. Simply spray the polish on the stone. After about 30 seconds the polish should begin to come to a haze. Once the polish has reached a hazy appearance, wipe the polish off with a cloth or paper towel. Lustro stone polish spray may be used on the following polished natural stones:
- Granite
- Marble
- Travertine
- Limestone
Lustro Italiano Stone Polish spray can also be used on engineered stones. Namely, all quartz products-such as Zodiaq, Silestone, etc.
Is the Lustro Stone Polish a sealer replacement?
The answer is no. The general practice in the natural stone industry (when your counter tops are being fabricated from the granite company) is that all natural stone comes installed with sealer already applied. This is an industry standard. However, depending on the fabricator or company, it is possible that a stone may NOT have sealer applied to the countertop.
Additionally, even though your stone has been sealed when installed, due to cooking and cleaning, as well as the fact that stone continually breathes and is porous, it is a standard industry recommendation to seal your stone every 1 to 3 years to protect its seal. How often it needs sealed, depends on the type of sealer being used. And YES, there is a BIG difference in the quality of sealer that can be used to seal your natural stones! With that in view, it is important for you as the homeowner and investor of your kitchen and home, to make sure you properly maintain the countertops. After all, this is what you use every single day. And this is what will sell the home in the future. So, how can you tell if your counter needs to be sealed or re-sealed?
How to inspect your countertop:
1st, take some water and put on your stone. When you wipe up the water does it darken the stone? Take a close look at your stone and see if you see oil or other types of stains, dark spots, left in the stone. The most obvious places are around the stove and sink area. Has your stone lost some of the polish and lustre that it had when it was first installed? Has it been longer than 2 years since the stone has been sealed?
All of these are signs that the sealer in the stone has been removed and is no longer protecting the surface. If you determine that the stone needs to be resealed, follow these five steps:
- Clean the stone with a stone cleaner that will not harm the existing seal to get everything off the surface.
- If there are stains on the surface, use the poultice pouch or poultice powder to pull the stains out before sealing.
-
Allow the stone to dry to get as much moisture out of the stone as possible. Stone is like a sponge. If a sponge is saturated, it cannot take in more water. When the sponge is dry it will soak up alot of water. You want the stone to be as dry as possible to allow maximum absorbtion of the sealer when applied. Use this as a great excuse to go out to dinner!
- You are now ready to properly seal your counter. Use the ultra premium sealer on the stone to deeply penetrate and seal the countertop.
