Prepare a bucket, clean cloths, brushes, a mop, a sponge, rubber gloves. All of the above you probably already have in your home. There are a couple of things that you may need to buy – a squeegee, a foam roller, stone floor cleaning products.

You should always test the stone floor cleaning products that you have gotten from the store to avoid any damage to the flooring. Apply a very small amount in a corner and see if there is some type of reaction, damage, stain, etc.

If everything is okay, proceed with mixing the cleaner with water in a bucket. Apply with the squeegee for larger areas and a sponge for corners and smaller areas.
