if the stone was flooded so was the substrate. The problem is you can only clean and sanitize the surface. If any organic matter got under the installation it will be prone to mold and mildew. This is especially true with water from the outside which will contain an organic source for the mold and mildew to thrive. You can clean it but I would warn them that it could be a problem.This also holds true for iron oxidation. I have seen limestone that has flooded and it sometimes take months for it to show. For this reason I again would warn them about possible problems later on down the road.On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 2:39 PM, Shirley Falcon <info@falconfloorandsurfacecare.com> wrote:Fred,I value the feedback from my associates and this is the first time that I've worked on Limestone.

He is drying it with blowers and he told me he was using a moisture meter, however, I will follow up on that.I'm embarrassed to admit to this, but, how do I sanitize this floor. and does it need to sit up after that? He did have it moppped.Thank you for your time.Shirley FalconOn Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 11:21 AM, Fred (via sccpartners list) <nobody@simplelists.com> wrote:I would also check for iron oxidation.

The river overflowed with waves to the top of the 2nd floor door. he doesn't want it shiny, just sealed. So I have a sample piece to do for him.The limestone is still drying out. My question is "Should I expect to clean each section twice since the water stayed on the limestone for 2-3 days." And, probably some of the silt or dirty water from the water has gotten into the pores of the limestone. What is the long term effect of that?Thank you for your time.--Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com/sccpartners Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com/sccpartners Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com/sccpartners Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com --Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com/sccpartners Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com --Frederick M.
