Although stone art and Marble Sculpting are durable, problems may arise over time. Stonework, like wood, is a porous material that breathes, so it can easily absorb water or intrude pollution through water dissolution. If the stone carving absorbs too much water and pollution, it will inevitably cause various stone carving lesions, such as: cracking, weathering, falling off, floating, yellowing, water spots, rust spots, white blooms, and foggy surfaces. Therefore, the stone carving should avoid washing with water or washing the surface of the stone carving with a wet mop.
All
stone sculpture are afraid of acid and alkali. For example, acid often causes the sulfur iron minerals in granite to oxidize and produce yellowing phenomenon. Acid will decompose calcium carbonate contained in marble, causing the surface to be eroded, and alkali will also erode granite. The grain boundaries of feldspar and quartz silicide crystals in the stone cause the phenomenon of grain peeling. Therefore, non-neutral items are the cause of damage to the stone mirror.
There are many kinds of waxes on the market, including water-based waxes, fatty acid waxes, oily waxes, and acrylic waxes. These waxes basically contain acid and alkali substances, which will not only block the pores of the stone breathing, but also be stained with dirt to form wax scale, causing the surface of the stone to turn yellow. If it is necessary to wax in places with high frequency of pedestrian and goods circulation, you must ask the maintenance company to guide the use of wax and maintenance.
Do not use non-neutral detergents indiscriminately. In order to achieve a fast cleaning effect, general cleaning agents contain acid and alkali, so if you use cleaning agents with unknown ingredients for a long time, the surface luster of the stone carving will be lost, and the residue of non-neutral chemicals will become the main cause of stone carving lesions in the future .
Do not cover carpets and sundries for a long time. In order to keep the stone sculpture breathing smoothly, avoid covering the surface of the stone sculpture with carpets and sundries for a long time, otherwise, the moisture in the stone sculpture cannot evaporate through the pores of the stone sculpture, and stone art and Marble Sculpting will be damaged due to excessive moisture and increased water content. If there are annoying lesions, such as laying carpets and stacking sundries, it is advisable to change them frequently and keep them clean.
