Although the Five Lotus Stone is sturdy and durable, it may also encounter some problems over time. Therefore, in order to prolong the service life of the Five Lotus Stone and prevent a series of problems such as damage, a brief introduction to the "Five Taboos" in the protection of Five Lotus Stone is given.
To avoid long-term coverage of carpets and debris: In order to ensure smooth breathing of the Five Lotus Stone, it is necessary to avoid covering it with carpets and debris for a long time. Otherwise, the moisture in the Five Lotus Stone cannot evaporate through the pores of the stone, which can lead to an increase in moisture content due to excessive moisture, resulting in frustrating pathological problems.
Do not use non neutral cleaning agents: When curing stone, pay attention to the properties of cleaning agents and curing agents, and do not use them casually. General cleaning agents, curing agents, and wax products contain certain acidic and alkaline components. If improper cleaning agents or curing agents are not used, the glossiness of the stone surface color will decrease. More importantly, non neutral agent residues will become the main cause of stone lesions in the future.
Thirdly, do not directly contact non neutral objects: all stones are not resistant to acid and alkali, and the Five Lotus Stone is no exception. For example, acid can oxidize pyrite minerals in granite, resulting in yellowing. And acid will decompose the calcium carbonate in marble, causing the surface of the stone to be eroded. Not only acid, but also alkali will corrode the grain boundaries of feldspar and quartz silicate crystals in granite, causing grain detachment. Therefore, avoiding contact with non neutral substances is necessary to prevent damage to the stone mirror surface.
Fourth, do not rinse directly with water: Five lotus stone is a breathable porous material, so it is easy to absorb moisture into the interior of the stone or be contaminated through water dissolution. If the Five Lotus Stone absorbs too much moisture and pollution, it will inevitably cause various stone diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using excessively wet mops to clean the surface of the Five Lotus Stone. Do not directly rinse the stone with water, as this can easily allow moisture to enter the interior of the stone through pores, causing it to become damp. In addition, the stone itself contains some iron minerals, which can cause rusting once exposed to water.
Fifth, do not wax randomly: There are various types of wax on the market, including water-based wax, oil-based wax, acrylic wax, etc. These waxes basically contain acidic or alkaline substances, which not only clog the pores of the stone, but also accumulate dirt to form wax deposits, causing yellowing on the surface of the stone. If it is a place with frequent flow of people and goods, waxing must be done, and professional maintenance companies should be consulted for guidance on waxing and maintenance.
