Flagstone Sandstone Floor Cleaning

Sandstone is a porous, durable sedimentary rock composed of cemented sand-sized grains, predominantly quartz with silica, iron oxide or calcium carbonate. Used for countertops, flooring, showers, porches, stepping stones, pavers and vertical surfaces. Like sand, sandstone may be any color, but the most common colors are tan, brown, yellow, red, gray and white unlike most man-made tile floors.

Shenandoah Valley Bluestone is limestone, not sandstone! The stone eventually fades from a deep blue to a light grey after prolonged exposure to the sun and rain. Remember, limestone is acid sensitive while sandstone is not. Bottom line: TEST first!
