Decorating With Stone -part 1-
Tips for decorating with stone cleaning, selection, placement, combinations, and more tips …
One truth about the stone and is one of the most important against (indeed, is probably the most annoying of the same, which is the main argument of the enemies to use for decoration) is that the stone stain. And not only stain, unfortunately, it also marks the time (we refer to points score lacking in luster that may appear on the surfaces of polished stone.)And the truth is that none of the stones, even those considered the strongest or the most resistant (such as granite which is the classic example used) are saved from this.
Unfortunately there is nothing to prevent this problem. Sealers and polishes just give it a layer of moisture to the stone, which serves as protection, but can not in any way prevent the occurrence of staining or lack of luster. So, it’s not useless. If we drop something on the rock, if we had a seal or some sort of gloss, we will have more time to clean it before damage occurs.
Similarly, we should not make too much trouble, because although it is almost impossible to avoid staining and tarnishing, in general we can fix it with a little work, even if they are large stains. Moreover, if small, it is likely that not only disturbed, but maybe even give a different touch and are really good.
