Bluestone, also known as basalt, is a volcanic rock that is popularly used both for indoor and outdoor floor or wall surfaces in building and construction. It is commonly used both in residential as well commercial spaces as they provide for hard surfaces that offers great scratch resistance and are thus easy to maintain.

Bluestone is comprised of fine grains brought about by the rapid cooling of lava, making it excellently resistant to slips without comprising that beautiful silky feeling on your foot while walking on it. This natural stone flooring material is finished in several ways, the most popular include being polished, flamed, honed, and sandblasted, making it ideal for a great variety of purposes that will serve both your interiors and outdoors.

While homeowners generally find bluestone to be relatively easy to maintain, over time, there are two things that could happen. One, the grout lines and any profiles or contours on your bluestone floor or wall will eventually collect dirt and dust and grime that will cause buildup and some discolouration over time.

Two, mopping your bluestone tile surface over many years will also come with a gradual buildup of residue from various products that will eventually cause the stone to look smeared or greasy. When both of these occur it will be advisable to seek the help of professional natural stone cleaners like us at Quickly Please Cleaning.

Experts recommend the regular vacuuming and sweeping of your bluestone floors to prevent dirt and dust buildup. If left for a prolonged period of time, dirt and dust buildup will prove difficult to remove due to the tiny holes on your bluestone’s surface.

Our full water capture cleaning technique at Quickly Please Cleaning is the most recommended when it comes to restoring your grout lines and bluestone to their former glory. Acidic cleaners should be avoided at all cost as they can etch the stone’s surface and cause permanent damage. A neutral pH cleaning with a microfiber mop or mild and soapy warm water is ideal for mopping bluestone.
