Stone Care: The Daily Maintenance of Rusty Stones

Ruststone is one of the most common products on the market, other than the Sesame series. Its main producing regions include Henan, Shandong, Guangdong, and other areas. We often see it used in ground paving and exterior wall hanging. As a common material, it offers a variety of processing methods, such as polishing, firing, thin sheets, countertop materials, environmental stones, ground pavers, curb stones, and more. It also includes stone carvings and various building accessories, which are widely loved and sought after by the general public.

How much do you know about the daily maintenance of Ruststone? Next up, the editor will summarize the key points for you:

Firstly, we cannot continuously cover the rusted stone with debris. Not covering it is essential to allow the stone to breathe properly. Otherwise, long-term coverage of debris will prevent moisture from escaping through the stone's capillary pores, leading to damage to the rusted stone due to improper use.

Secondly, we should avoid contact with non-neutral items around rust stone, as we all know that rust stone is natural and susceptible to acids and alkalis. Acid can cause the oxidation of sulfur minerals in rust stone, leading to a yellowing effect. It can also decompose calcium carbonate in marble, resulting in surface erosion. Alkalis can erode the crystal boundaries of feldspar and quartz in granite, causing grain detachment. Therefore, we should avoid objects and liquids that contain acids or alkalis.

Do not rinse the rust stone surface directly with water, as the material is highly porous. Long-term absorption of moisture or penetration of pollutants through dissolved water can cause damage to the rust stone, not to mention that it may lead to long-term cracking and a shortened lifespan of the stone.

Delicate products also require daily care, so for those who are unaware, make sure to save this for later!
