Limestone cleaning, limestone polishing, limestone restoration, crack repairs and regular maintenance. Limestone is generally a soft and understated stone: Elegant. It doesn't take a high gloss polish like marble as it has a more open pore structure therefore making this limestone more susceptible to deep stains and dirt penetration. It is also more prone to deep etching by acidic and alkaline solutions. This open structure makes it harder to protect as sealers are less effective and don't offer the same level of protection as they would on a harder marble.
