How to Clean and Protect Cantera Stone Floors

Cantera is a porous natural stone commonly used in Mexican architecture. It can absorb moisture, dirt and stains, so cleaning and sealing must be matched to the condition of the stone.

Identify the type of staining

Environmental dirt, grease, rust and moisture staining require different cleaning methods. One aggressive cleaner should not be used for every situation.

Avoid excessive pressure and harsh acids

Cantera can erode if cleaned too aggressively. The goal is to remove contamination while preserving the original texture.

Use a penetrating sealer

A breathable penetrating sealer can help reduce absorption without creating a heavy topical coating.
