How to maintain yellow rust stone in daily life? Stone maintenance requires understanding of the stone. In addition, if there is any damage to the stone, the cause of the damage should be understood, and it is important not to seek medical attention hastily. When stones experience issues such as floating, yellowing, rust spots, and white spots, the reason may be due to excessive absorption of moisture. Therefore, places with high water vapor such as bathrooms should avoid using yellow rust stone. If yellow rust stone is exposed to such an environment for a long time, its surface will quickly become dull and produce circles of white stains resembling clouds and mist. Many people apply a layer of wax on the surface of stone to protect it from corrosion by the external environment. They believe that this not only protects the stone, but also improves the glossiness of the yellow rust stone surface, making the stone look more beautiful. Nowadays, it has been found that waxing can also cause some damage to yellow rust stone. The yellowing phenomenon on the surface of yellow rust stone may be due to waxing blocking the capillary pores that breathe in the stone. If you want to keep yellow rust stone bright and clean, you need to regularly maintain and clean it. This requires people to choose a specialized protective agent for the stone, or hire a specialized company to polish the stone.
How can yellow rust stone be better maintained?
1、 Do not rinse directly with water
Yellow rust stone is like natural wood, it is a porous stone that can breathe, so it is easy to absorb impurities or cause pollution by dissolving impurities in water. If yellow rust stone absorbs too much moisture and impurities, it can cause various yellow rust stone lesions, such as weathering, peeling, yellowing, rust spots, white spots, and other headache inducing problems. Therefore, the maintenance of yellow rust stone should avoid rinsing with water or cleaning the surface of yellow rust stone with a damp mop as much as possible. Even with the use of high-quality yellow rust stone special protective agents, it cannot prevent pollution from invading for a long time, so pollution should be immediately removed when it occurs.
2、 Do not cover clutter for a long time
To keep the yellow rust stone breathing smoothly, it is necessary to avoid covering carpets and debris on the surface of the yellow rust stone for a long time. Otherwise, the moisture under the yellow rust stone cannot evaporate through the fine pores of the yellow rust stone, and the yellow rust stone may suffer from annoying yellow rust stone lesions due to excessive moisture and increased water content. If you want to lay carpets or pile debris, please do not forget to keep them clean. Regularly use dust collectors and electrostatic mops to remove dust and clean, as neither granite nor marble can resist long-term damage from wind, sand, and soil particles. Incorrect maintenance methods for Shandong yellow rust stone can cause damage to the stone.
3、 Do not touch non neutral objects
Yellow rust stone is sensitive to acid and alkali. For example, acid not only oxidizes pyrite minerals in granite, but also causes yellowing of the stone; Acid can also cause the decomposition of calcium carbonate contained in marble, resulting in the erosion of the stone surface. On the other hand, alkali can also corrode the crystallization of feldspar and quartz silicides in granite, leading to the phenomenon of grain peeling. Generally speaking, various types of wax such as non neutral cleaning agents, water-based wax, oil-based wax, acrylic wax, etc., all contain acidic or alkaline substances. Long term use can cause the glossiness of the yellow rust stone surface to disappear completely, and the residual chemicals can also lead to future damage to the yellow rust stone material.
A very simple maintenance method for treating spots caused by lesions on the surface of yellow rust stone is to use specialized rust removers for treatment. But when selecting rust removers, it is important to choose high-quality products to maintain the stability of iron ions in redox reactions. After using rust remover for treatment, it is recommended to rinse with clean water again, and after the stone is dry, use high-quality stone curing agent to protect the stone. The purpose is to remove residual substances after maintenance treatment and prevent the stone from undergoing another oxidation reaction.
