Care matched to the material.
Sandstone — Dholpur, Agra red, Mint, Kandla grey — is a warm, textured, naturally non-slip stone used for courtyards, verandahs, lobbies and feature walls. It is also soft and very porous, so it weathers, grows algae in damp shade, and soaks up oil, rust and salt stains readily.
FloorCarePro cleans sandstone with low-pressure methods and the correct biocide or poultice for the stain, hones or lightly polishes where a smoother finish is wanted indoors, and finishes with a breathable impregnating sealer that repels water and oil without trapping moisture or changing the natural look.
Our sandstone services
Every step, done properly.
Sandstone Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning is machine-driven — a rotary or orbital scrubber with the correct chemistry lifts years of ground-in grime, detergent film, grease and biological growth that mopping only spreads around.
↗ 02Sandstone Polishing
Polishing removes the worn, dull top layer of a floor and rebuilds a clean, reflective finish.
↗ 03Sandstone Sealing
Sealing is protection.
↗What goes wrong
Common sandstone problems.
Sandstone's open pore structure is the whole point — it grips underfoot and looks natural — but it means aggressive cleaning erodes the surface and film-forming sealers peel. Everything is done gently: low pressure, neutral or mild chemistry, breathable sealers.
Black algae, lichen and green biological growth in shaded / damp areas
Oil, rust, paint and efflorescence (salt) staining
Sandy, friable, eroding surface — "spalling"
Peeling, patchy old surface coatings and glossy sealers
Open, weed-filled or cement-smeared joints
Why it needs a specialist
Not a job for consumer products.
Sandstone is easy to wreck — a pressure washer held too close erodes years of surface in seconds, and the wrong acid burns it permanently. Effective work is about matching the mildest method to the specific stain, and choosing a sealer that breathes.
Keeping it that way
How to look after your sandstone.
- ✓Sweep and rinse; only mild pH-neutral cleaner for washing
- ✓Keep gutters and drainage clear so the stone is not permanently wet
- ✓Re-apply breathable impregnating sealer every 2–3 years outdoors
- ✓Never seal sandstone with a glossy film coat — it will peel and trap damp

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
Why does my floor look dull even though I mop it often?
Usually it is a film of dried detergent plus hard water and fine grime. Mopping adds more of it. A machine scrub with an alkaline stripper removes the film and the shine returns.
How long does floor polishing take?
A typical 1,000–1,500 sq ft home takes one to two days. Floors needing full grinding, or larger commercial areas, take longer. We work room by room so the rest of the space stays usable.
