Limestone shows up in a lot of St. George homes as entryway tile, bathroom floors, accent walls, and fireplace hearths. It is softer than marble or travertine, so foot traffic dulls the high-use areas first while the edges of the room still look fine. That uneven wear is usually the first reason people call us.
Hard water and acidic cleaners are the other big issue. Vinegar, lemon, and some natural sprays react with the calcium and leave dull etch marks that cleaning alone will not fix. We hone those out and refinish the surface so the floor looks consistent again.
Our IICRC-certified crew handles limestone the way the stone needs. Lighter abrasives, slower passes, pH-neutral cleaner, and a penetrating sealer at the end. We aim for a soft, even finish across the whole room because limestone was never built to hold a glassy polish like marble.
