Accreditations & Memberships

Stonehealth Accredited Service Providers

As stone cleaning professionals it is important that we have the technology to clean all types of stone. One advanced cleaning technology our technicians have at their disposal is the the Stonehealth DOFF cleaning system. At Ideal Response we are fully accredited and our technicians have been trained to use the state-of-the-art cleaning technology.

This technology is best suited for delicate surfaces as it utilises high temperatures and low pressure which is what is needed for brittle stone. This technology means that we can perform our professional stone cleaning service on almost any property.

The high temperature will break down any dirt or paint and will also kill any organic growth. This will leave your stone surfaces both clean and sanitised. It is important to clean stone surfaces regularly in order to preserve them and mitigate risk.

Why You Should Hire a Professional Stone Cleaner

Corrosion Damage

If left uncleaned you run the risk of potential long-term issues. Dirt, grime, pollutants and paint are naturally corrosive and if left to settle on stone for long periods of time can east away at the surface and weaken it. The weakened stone can become brittle and can lead to potentially catastrophic structural issues.

Simply hiring an expert stone cleaner for regular servicing will extend the life of your stone. Regular cleaning will also mitigate the risk of expensive and dangerous structural issues.

Organic Growth Damage

Similarly to corrosive damage, organic growth can lead to very serious issues if left unchecked. Organic growth will take root in cracks and gaps and will quickly spread. Naturally as the organic matter grows it will cause cracks to widen and spread. Cracks will damage the structural integrity of the stone and will weaken it significantly. Over time this will cause structural issues to your property, especially if the stones are weight bearing.
