After the brutal heat of the summer, the monsoon’s are a relief! While the rains bring down the mercury, one must be careful of the germs and water borne illnesses that arise from water stagnation and moisture in the air. Mentioned below are some preventive measures you can take to make sure your house is well protected, clean, and dry during the monsoon.

At what stage of my home renovation should I get marble polishing done?

I am getting my house painted, when should I get my marble floors polished, before or after the painting? In case of old marble, if you are going for a complete marble diamond restoration process , we recommend the work be done before your final quote of paint. Once polished, we further recommend the floors be covered while the painter applies his final quote of paint. This covering will protect your newly polished marble flooring from getting scratched and from staining. Once completed, the covering can be removed and the floors buffed. You can then enjoy freshly painted walls and sparkling marble floors. We have attached two images in which we have used William Tape to cover the floors, at a siye. There are several options available for protecting natural stone flooring depending on budget and level of protection required. Please call us on 9717719303 to discuss your requirement and how best we can serve you. Visit -  www.cleansweep.co.in  for more information.

The acidity in the lemon will remove hard water deposits. Wipe off with a microfibre duster.

If you have marble floors that have become dull, have scuff marks, minor scratches on the surface of the marble and lacks lustre, you can go for a ‘super shine’ process to restore shine . Under the ‘super shine’ process we have two options, one which uses diamond impregnated pads and one which uses diamond pads. The difference between the two lies in the fact that the super shine with diamond pads is a superior process as it gives a sharper shine and is better at removing scratches. A super shine will give a mirror finish shine. In both process, the skirting is not done. Cracks and joints are not repaired. For more details, please call us on .......
