FAQ

How to remove scratches from Fantasy Grey Granite floor tiles?

To remove scratches from Fantasy Grey Granite floor tiles, you can follow these steps: 1. Clean the surface: Before attempting to remove scratches, make sure the floor tiles are clean and free of debris. Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the surface, and wipe it dry with a clean cloth. 2. Assess the severity of the scratches: Some scratches may be superficial and can be buffed out easily, while deeper scratches may require more intensive treatment. 3. Use a granite polishing compound: Purchase a granite polishing compound specifically designed for use on granite surfaces. Apply a small amount of the compound to the scratched area and gently buff the surface with a soft cloth in a circular motion. 4. Sand the scratches: For deeper scratches, you may need to use sandpaper to smooth out the surface. Start with a low grit sandpaper (around 100 grit) and gradually work your way up to a higher grit (such as 400) until the scratches are no longer visible. 5. Seal the surface: Once the scratches have been removed, seal the surface with a granite sealer to protect the tiles from future damage. 6. Regular maintenance: To prevent scratches from reoccurring, make sure to regularly clean and maintain the granite floor tiles. Use coasters under furniture legs, avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface, and clean up spills promptly. If the scratches are difficult to remove or if you are unsure about how to proceed, it may be best to consult a professional stone restoration specialist for advice and assistance.

Are sandblasted finish Fantasy Grey Granite floor tiles easily stained?
