removing sealer from limestone flooring
by Kathy
(Phoenix, AZ)
What product can I use to safely remove sealer from my limestone flooring? I have used Tilelab sealer and finish but it seems to scuff very easily and I can't get the scuff marks up. I would like to remove all of the sealer (my house is entirely limestone flooring and I am finding it overwhelming to care for)and start over again.
Kathy,
I'm not familiar with the product you used, but if it was a finish that you put on your limestone floor, then you need to strip your floor, using high alkaline floor strippers.
You should contact the manufacture and ask them for the best product to strip their product.
Sometimes the floor strippers can also etch the limestone floor, which would then require additional refinishing.
You may need to contact a stone restoration professional in your area to help you.
I never recommend any finish on any stone, as they never hold up and then require stripping and sometimes refinishing which is expensive.
I wish I could be more help.
