Cleaning Tips For A Healthy House
The right kind of vacuum could help families keep a clean bill of health.
That’s the news from scientists who now say that in addition to harboring dust mites and other microcontaminants, a typical home’s floors and rugs have more bacteria on them than the kitchen counter and even the toilet seat.
The bacteria, along with a number of germs and viruses, is often tracked in from the outside on people’s feet and on pets and generally can’t be sucked up by conventional vacuums. Flu, colds and other ailments have been linked to viruses sometimes found in the home, and-equally concerning-the National Center for Health Statistics warns that dust mites are one of the leading causes of indoor allergies, in particular asthma.

We recommand granite Vs. Marble or silestone or anything. We have been fabricating granite countertops and granite tiles from more than 10 years for customers all over United States. As an owner of the company I recommand all natural stone should be cleaned using the following steps in escallations.
1. Clean with Water.
2. Clean with water with soap.
3. Clean with tiles cleaner or soap which have no amonia, 409, etc.
4. Get a cleaner and sealer from tiles supply company. They carry products that are specilized for stone finish enhacements.
5. Get a sealer from StoneTech, we had very good success with products from this company.
6. If you still have stain or dull finish, get an acid wash done and reseal the tiles.
7. Second last option: Get a sand wheel, remove all polish, repolish and seal.
8. Last option replace the tiles.
I hope this helps.
Thank You
