General Cleaning and Maintenance

• Remove debris: Start by sweeping or vacuuming loose dirt and debris using a soft broom or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to prevent dirt from settling into crevices. [3, 4]
• Regular washing: For a deeper clean, use a pH-balanced or pH-neutral stone cleaner with warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners, which can erode the grout and damage the natural stone. [1, 5, 6]
• Scrub gently: Use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the surface and grout lines. A stiff-bristle brush can be used for more aggressive cleaning if needed, but caution is advised to avoid scratches. [6, 7]
• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the entire surface thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to remove any cleaner residue. [1]
• Dry the surface: Allow the surface to dry completely for at least 24 hours after a deep clean, especially before sealing. [5]
• Sealing: The porous nature of many pebbles and grout means they stain easily. It is recommended to seal the grout and flooring at least once a year with a quality impregnator sealer to help resist stains and discoloration. [2, 8]

Stain Removal

• Hard water/mineral stains: For white spots caused by hard water or mineral deposits, a diluted white vinegar solution can be effective. Spray the affected area, let it sit for about 10 minutes, then scrub gently and rinse thoroughly. [1, 9]
• Other stains: A baking soda paste or a proprietary clay-based poultice may help remove other types of stains from the pebble flooring. [2]
• Immediate cleanup: Wipe up any spills that could stain the surface immediately to prevent them from soaking into the porous material. [2]

Disclaimer: When using any cleaning agents, including vinegar, it is advisable to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with the specific type of stone and sealer used.
