Loose Grout

The problem is not because of the limestone. It is because of theloose grout.

Causes of Loose Grout

• There might be some movements in the sub-floor.Sometimes, a void is created under a tile. This often loosensthe grout.

• The second cause of loose grout is uneven adhesive. This alsoleaves voids under tiles.

• When there are no voids under tiles then this problem isbecause you never applied limestone sealing or the seal isworn down.

Causes of Dirty and Grimy Floor

Spills seeped into the limestone tile gives it the grimy, dirty anddull appearance. Even when you try to be careful, liquids are oftenspilled on the floor.

Solution

Stains and marks on the floor due to spills can be removed by re-honing the floor. However, the floor will again get dirty andgrimy looks due to the spills. Therefore, the best solution is toprevent spills from seeping into the tile. This is what limestonesealing does.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

The floor is looking etched because you have used harshchemical to clean tiles. These chemicals often cause stains on thefloor. In order to remove stains, you once try some other harshchemical based cleaning agent. And, this vicious cycle goes on.

Restore the Floor

Before restoration, it is important to locate the source of the problem. Professionals perform a hammer test for identifying voids under the floor. Here, you need not replace the entire floor. You just need to fill voids under tiles.

Fill Voids and Seal the Floor

Voids are filled by drilling holes in the grout. After that, aproduct is injected through these holes to fill the voids. After 12to 15 hours, the hammer test is once again performed to makesure that void is completely filled. Limestone sealing willprevent floor from getting stained due to spills.
