Cleaning Stains on Natural Stone Tile
Natural Stone occasionally needs more than routine cleaning maintenance. The location of the stone surface- such as a shower, kitchen or high traffic area- and the type of surface- for example Travertine, Porcelain or Granite- are factors that contribute to the frequency with stone is likely to need extra attention to maintain it’s natural beauty. For instance, stone floor or walls in a shower will be more susceptible to soap scum and hard water deposits than a stone foyer floor that sees minimal foot traffic.
To remove difficult stains, try Aqua Mix NanoScrub® which is an abrasive cream cleanser designed to work on stone surface where other cleaners won’t. NanoScrub utilizes “nano-sized” particles to penetrate into small surface pores where it can effectively remove surface stains and residues. NanoScrub is safe and effective on all types of stone and tile surfaces including acid-sensitive polished marble and limestone. Works on pencil & rubber marks, mildew stains, grout residue (including epoxy), ground-in dirt and mineral deposits. Will also remove factory-applied waxes and floor finishes, coating sealers, and most sealer residues.
NanoScrub contains no voc’s is nontoxic, non-flammable and non-acidic for better indoor and outdoor air quality as compared to similar traditional products.

Question: We have two large natural slate entryways that get heavy use and are filthy despite scrubbing with brush and Simple Green cleaner. I have also tried muriatic acid with no noticeable difference. We love the look of slate but not the look of this disaster. These floors were sealed when installed and I think we need to start all over. Will Nano Scrub be a good next step?
Hello Caroline
Nanoscrub is a good next step but depending how heavily soiled the area is I would suggest using the Stone Deep Clean along with the NanoScrub and then reseal the floor using Aqua Mix Sealer’s Choice.
