Does vinegar work to clean a stone fireplace?

• <div><p>If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/six-clever-ways-clean-vinegar.htm">use vinegar to clean</a> quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance keeps stone surfaces looking their best?

• <div><p>Maintenance includes regular cleaning with appropriate products, periodic sealing to protect against staining and wear, and addressing minor issues before they escalate.</p></div>

Q: How often does granite need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Granite should be resealed every 12 to 18 months, depending on the color and usage. Lighter granite needs to be resealed more frequently than darker colors. If you use acidic cleaners or prepare food on the surface regularly, you must reseal the surface more frequently. Without proper sealing, granite is vulnerable to staining. You can tell if your countertop needs to be resealed by placing a wet paper towel on the counter for 10 minutes. If the water beads up, it is still sufficiently sealed; if it sinks in, it&rsquo;s time to apply sealant.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain repaired stone countertops?

• <div><p>Use a pH-balanced cleaner, avoid abrasive materials, and reseal porous stones like granite annually to maintain durability.</p></div>

Q: Does soapstone crack easily?

• <div><p>No, soapstone does not crack easily. The softness of the material protects it from cracking but makes it prone to other types of damage such as scratches. Scratches may need to be buffed out occasionally using fine-grit sandpaper. You can also conceal minor scratches in your soapstone countertops by rubbing the surface with mineral oil.</p></div>

Our tile and terrazzo floors were beautifully restored by Deja and her crew from ReColor Your Grout. Our floors were stained very dirty from the hurricane Ian flooding but after cleaning and polishing, the floors actually look better than new!

Be aware that the shop is located on the alley behind the barber shop; it's not directly in line with the other shops. When I first arrived I was given not only a choice of beverages but also a choice of fragrance for the soaking solution. This salon does not use the typical massage chairs...

"Celio and his wife Anna Peno did an incredible job of stripping and waxing our multi-purpose room floor. They were efficient, professional and did some extra areas that we had not discussed without charging! The residents at our 55+ park said that the floor has 'never looked better'! We will continue to hire Celio and Anna in the future. Their price was fair and half that of a previous company we had used."
