Basic information about the product - selection criteria

Special liquids or aerosols are used to clean the interior stone. They can be versatile or of a narrow profile. How to choose the right one? The cleaning agent is selected depending on the material of the product.

Interior stone material - its features

The types of stones are classified into two categories: natural and artificial. Products made from natural material are very expensive and heavy, it is difficult to process them, therefore it is customary to use artificial ones as an alternative.

The popularity of models depends on the technology by which the product is made and the components used in the composition. The best specimens are based on concrete, the main constituent of which is cement (Portland cement) and filler (endow the product with properties).

What other fillers are:

• expanded clay (has a low density);

Note! Expanded clay can be fine-grained and coarse-grained. Inexpensive coarse-grained products, however, they have a main drawback: after 6-12 months of operation, if the rules of care are not followed, the pieces may fall off.

• perlite (increases resistance to corrosion);
• pumice;
• ceramic chips and others.

On a note! Other equally popular artificial stones include: porcelain stoneware or agglomerates imitating marble, granite, malachite, etc.

The pigments included in its composition (dyes, as they are also called), which give a special color to the product, are also responsible for the life of the product.

In this regard, when buying hygiene products for the care of artificial and natural stones, it is important to know the composition of the product itself in order to understand how it will react to exposure to chemicals.

• how often the product should be used;
• what is the expense;
• how much is;
• which company is better.
