Stone relief is very common in our life. As a decorative art, relief has a variety of shapes, which can be carved on the wall to make the wall look more three-dimensional, and also make the wall look more beautiful. Decorate to make the whole space look less monotonous. So in order to maintain the beauty of stone relief, how to maintain the relief and avoid damage to the relief? The following is a brief introduction for you.

 

Granite Relief Maintenance


All stones are afraid of acid and alkali. For example: acid often causes the oxidation of pyrite minerals in granite to produce yellowing phenomenon, acid will decompose calcium carbonate contained in marble, causing the surface to be eroded, alkali will also erode feldspar and quartz silicification in granite. The grain boundary of the crystalline material causes the phenomenon of grain peeling.

 

There are also many types of waxes on the market, including water-based wax, fatty acid wax, oil-based wax, acrylic wax, etc. These waxes basically contain acid and alkali substances. Not only will it block the capillary pores of the stone, but it will also be stained with dust to form wax scale, resulting in yellowing on the surface of the stone.

 

Limestone Relief Maintenance


Do not use non-neutral detergents indiscriminately. In order to achieve a quick cleaning effect, general cleaning contains acid and alkali. Therefore, if you use detergents with unknown ingredients for a long time, the gloss of the stone surface will be lost, and the residue of non-neutral drugs will be lost. It is the main cause of stone lesions in the future.

 

In order to keep the stone breathing smoothly, it is necessary to avoid covering the stone surface with carpets and sundries for a long time, otherwise the moisture under the stone cannot be volatilized through the stone capillary pores. The stone will cause annoying stone lesions due to excessive moisture and increased water content.
