Industry News
The stone industry is finding out that most of the so-called green products on the market are etching polished marble, limestone, and travertine. You see, most of the green products actually have a pH of 5-6 which is a mild acid. A pH of 7, or what is called "neutral", is what is recommended for natural stone cleaning by all stone companies and cleaning manufacturers. So please keep in mind that just because the label says that it is a cucumber-based product that is safe for you, that doesn't mean it is necessarily safe for your stone. |
