Stained limestone pool surround - Santa Fe Floor Care

Limestone pool stained black and green.

This Lakeway, Texas homeowner called us in desperate need of cleaning of her limestone patio and pool surround. When we came out to inspect the area we noticed it was stained black in several spots and also had a green algae growing on the surface. The homeowner was extremely frustrated and explained to me that after paying a little over 3000 dollars to have the patio power-washed and cleaned, the black stains were still embedded in the stone. Using a high powered washer can be extremely damaging to limestone because it can actually open up holes in the surface which become havens for bacterial growth. After taking measurements and providing a price quote we lined out a step-by-step process for how we planned to attack this job for the homeowner.

Our cleaning process

First we saturated all the stained areas with an antimicrobial mixture which reacts with the stubborn stains in the limestone. After preparing the rest of our process, the stains were already looking a bit lighter. We then used a stone-friendly alkaline solution along with our soft-bristled electric spinning brush to agitate and emulsify the surface soils and bacterial growth. The emulsified soils were extracted and the stone was rinsed with our truck-mounted hot water extraction machine. The stone was looking really good at this point and after doing some detail work the homeowner thanked us profusely and commented that it looked almost as good as the day it was installed 10 years ago. For a final step we saturated the limestone pool surround with an industrial grade penetrating stone sealer.

The clients were extremely pleased with the results and before we left, we educated them on how to properly care for the stone and maintain its beautiful natural look

I was absolutely blown away by the exceptional hardwood floor and limestone cleaning service I received from Sante Fe Floor Care for my new construction home. Rodrick, our technician, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also incredibly professional and courteous. He took the time to explain the entire process, the type of solution they use, and the best practices for future maintenance.The results were nothing short of spectacular. My floors look brand new! The attention to detail and the care he took in cleaning every nook and cranny was truly impressive. I highly recommend Sante Fe Floor Care to anyone seeking top-notch cleaning services, especially for new construction homes. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

Bryan was very professional. He called to inform me he was on his way. Arrived on time and answered all my questions in detail. The carpet had some heavy traffic areas the were quite dirty. They all came out and it looks and smells terrific. I also had grout cleaned and I am very happy with the work. A visible difference in the kitchen and bathroom. I highly recommend Santa Fe. I have used them for over 15 years and they are consistent in their high quality service.

Very knowledgeable, professional and punctual! We purchased a nine year old home in Sun City, all tile floors with two carpeted bedrooms. The home had been well cared for but the floors needed attention. Mr. Young came out, measured everything and visited with us, made suggestions and then clearly explained the process. We received a very fair quote and all the work was done well within a tight time frame. The floors are stunning! He also did a lovely job on a huge, 40 year old wool oriental carpet. We highly recommend Santa Fe Floor Care!!!Mr. and Mrs. James Armstrong
