Author: LindaYSubject: Limestone in a showerPosted: 02 Dec 2009 at 8:39am We have green limestone in a shower. Within 6 months, the tiles were discoloring and the surface looked like it had soap scum/residue on it. The tiles on the front of the threshold began showing signs of spalling and developed a scaly finish. The top of the threshold looked like it had been walked on so much that the surface was worn away and didn't look like the other tiles at all. The back of the threshold inside of the shower looks fine after I cleaned it with a poultice by Miracle. We have soft water which some have said could cause the spawling problem, but that doesn't explain the front of the threshold that doesn't get wet like inside of the shower. I have heard that green limestone or any limestone should not be used in a shower. We've had several restoration companies try to restore sample areas, but nothing has worked. Any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Author: floormanSubject: Clean your carpet....Posted: 02 Dec 2009 at 8:17amPetreat your carpet with soap free detergent. The detergent should be a ph of around 7 as possible, then rinse extract with hot water. Any spots left in the carpet would be of solvent base. That can usually be removed with acetone put on a rag and then gently wipe the spots. Wine spills and things like gatorade, blood,ect will need some peroxide applied to it and dobbed up with a rag. After this all is completed spray treat carpet with scotch guard treatment. Blow dry if possible. Maintence should be to vacuum carpet traffic lanes a couple times a week if possible. Redo this process every 6 months.
