Dark Stains on Natural Stone and Exterior Facades: Why Do They Occur and How to Clean Them?
Dark Stains on Natural Stone and Exterior Facades:
Why Does It Occur and How to Clean It?
Rain, snow, and humidity... Porous surfaces like natural stone, brick, concrete, and plaster bear the marks of these natural phenomena over time. Irregular wetting-drying cycles, especially on surfaces exposed to precipitation, lead to unsightly dark stains and permanent water marks.
So why do these stains occur and how can we find a permanent solution?
Effects to which natural surfaces are exposed over time.The Science Behind Blemishes: Pores and Moisture
Porous building materials (natural stone, brick, sandstone, concrete, etc.) have microscopic voids. Rainwater, dirt, mineral salts, and organic matter are absorbed into these pores.
As water dries, its dissolved substances accumulate on or below the surface. This repeated process manifests itself as irregular, dark "water spots" on the surface. Over time, these accumulations are not only an aesthetic problem but can also lead to physical and chemical deterioration (cracking, flaking, salt buildup) in the material.
The cycle of dirt and moisture accumulating in microscopic pores.Risks of Traditional Cleaning Methods
Many people resort to harsh chemicals (acid-based cleaners, harsh solvents) or high-pressure cleaning to tackle these stubborn stains. However, these approaches are often risky:
- It damages the surface: It causes abrasion, discoloration or deterioration of the pore structure.
- It is risky for the environment and human health: It contains harmful, flammable chemicals.
- It offers a temporary solution: It cleans the stain superficially, but it cannot dissolve the dirt inside the pore; it can even push it deeper.
High pressure or acid cleaning may damage the surface.Solution: Is Effective and Friendly Cleaning Possible?
Yes, it's possible! RESTORA CLEAN offers a radical solution to this dilemma. It's an innovative product that combines powerful cleaning performance with a human- and environmentally-friendly formula.
