Cleaning and Maintenance of the “São Tomé” Stone

The “São Tomé” stone is a natural rock that has been removed from its environment in blocks and has been used for ornamental use or as a coating.

The cleaning of the “São Tomé” stone should be carried out with soap and water, routinely.

Depending on where it was installed and use, it will be necessary to clean with skilled labor more frequently, using acid and a high-pressure washer.
