Artificial Stone Daily Maintenance System and Cleaning Checks

Artificial stone has good flexural strength, but its hardness is relatively lower than that of most natural marbles. Therefore, contact with sharp/hard objects or hard wheels should be avoided in daily use. In addition, artificial stone has poor resistance to acids and alkalis on its surface, making it unsuitable for cleaning with strong acids or alkalis. The use of strong acid-based crystallizing products often leads to acid etching and burning on the surface of artificial stone.

For artificial stone, begin with substrate sensitivity, traffic level, and a small compatibility test before choosing a coating or polishing-support product. Green Shield may be considered when the site needs a water-based protective maintenance approach, but the expected gloss, wear resistance, labor input, and material use should be verified on a test area before broad application.

Tools and materials: 

Green Shield, steel wool pads or 3M white pads, crystallizing machine, dust mop.

Operation Process:

1.Clean the floor and allow it to air-dry naturally.

2.Spray Green Shield onto the floor at a dosage of 5-10 ml per square meter, then use a steel wool pad or 3M white pad paired with a crystallizing machine.

3.Work the surface evenly according to the product instructions, then allow the test area to dry before judging gloss, residue, and appearance.

4.If there is dust on the floor, clean it thoroughly with a dust mop and repeat Step 3 with Green Shield to make the protective film even more robust and glossy.

5.For first-time use of Green Shield, it is generally recommended to repeat the process 2-3 times to achieve a brighter floor surface.

6.Finish by dust-mopping the floor to remove residue. For daily maintenance, adjust any additional coats according to traffic, test-area results, and the artificial stone manufacturer’s care limits.
