Shrimp Red stone features high aesthetics and excellent performance, thus widely used in decorative architecture. However, many people are unaware of how to maintain this type of stone. Next, I'll introduce it to you.
1. Do not use non-neutral detergents with shrimp red stone.
To achieve quick cleaning results, most detergents are acidic or alkaline, so using cleaning agents with unknown ingredients over a long period can cause the surface of the shrimp red stone to lose its luster. Residual non-neutral chemicals are also a major cause of shrimp red stone disease in the future.
2. Shrimp red stone should not be covered by carpets and debris for extended periods.
To ensure the Xiehong stone can breathe properly, it should be avoided to cover it with carpets and debris for extended periods. Otherwise, moisture beneath the Xiehong stone cannot evaporate through its pores, leading to discoloration and deterioration due to excessive humidity and high water content. Therefore, if laying carpets or piling debris is necessary, it should be done frequently.
3. Keep the shrimp red stone clean
Whether granite or marble, neither can withstand the erosion of long-term wind and sand as well as soil particles. Therefore, it's crucial to regularly use dust cleaners and static brooms for dusting and cleaning. Placing dust mats at the entrances of commercial spaces can filter out sand particles from shoes, and it's best to change into slippers as soon as you get home to minimize the chance of sand and dust wearing away the surface of the coral red stone.
4. The shrimp red stone requires regular maintenance and polishing to retain its luster.
Dusting and cleaning alone cannot maintain the luster of the vibrant shrimp red stone. Therefore, we need to regularly send personnel for maintenance and luster restoration services, such as using polishing powder to regenerate the luster on marble or granite surfaces, or crystallizing liquid to recrystallize the marble surface, or using breathable luster protectants, all of which can keep the shrimp red stone looking new.
5. Remove contamination from shrimp red stone immediately
Shrimp Red stone has natural capillary pores, which allow pollutants (oil, tea, coffee, cola, soy sauce, ink, etc.) to easily渗透 into the stone's interior through these pores, resulting in stubborn stains. Therefore, it is advisable to apply a high-quality protective agent specifically designed for Shrimp Red stone to prevent contamination. Since no protective agent can resist pollution indefinitely, it is crucial to promptly remove any pollutants from the Shrimp Red stone to prevent capillary pores from being penetrated.
6. Keep shrimp red stone products well-ventilated and dry.
Moisture can cause hydration, hydrolysis, and carbonation reactions on shrimp red stone when the humidity is too high, leading to phenomena such as water spots, white efflorescence, erosion, and rust, which can further damage the shrimp red stone. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation and dryness at the installation site of shrimp red stone.
