Stone Cleaning Mallorca

Natural stone is one of the most elegant and timeless materials used in Mediterranean architecture. Whether on terraces, entrance areas or garden paths – stone surfaces add style and character to any property.
However, on Mallorca they are constantly exposed to sun, humidity, soil and salt in the air. Over time, this leads to discolouration, algae build-up and stubborn iron oxide stains.

A professional stone cleaning service in Mallorca not only restores the original appearance but also protects the surface for the long term.

🌴 Why Natural Stone Needs Special Care in Mallorca

Most outdoor surfaces on the island – especially in Son Vida, Palma, Calvià, Andratx, Santa Ponsa and Pollença – are made of limestone or Santanyí stone.
They are beautiful but porous, and therefore highly absorbent. The island’s soil contains around 2–5% iron oxide, giving it its typical red-brown tone (tierra roja).

When this dust mixes with humidity, it oxidises inside the stone pores, forming brownish “rust-like” stains.
Humidity, algae and salt then cause dullness, slipperiness and colour fading.

🧪 Cleaning Is Chemistry – and Expertise

Professional stone cleaning requires the right balance between chemistry, water pressure and experience.
At Cleanstone.es, we use only specialised industrial cleaning agents formulated for each surface type.

Depending on the problem, we apply:

Alkaline cleaners to remove organic matter such as algae, mould or biofilm.
Acidic or neutral cleaners for mineral residues or iron oxide.
Hot-water cleaning (up to 90 °C) to open pores and remove dirt deep within the stone.

Unlike harsh methods such as chlorine, our process preserves the natural colour and texture of the stone.

💧 Hydrophobic Protection – The Invisible Shield

After cleaning, we apply a hydrophobic impregnating sealant that penetrates the pores and forms a protective barrier against moisture, dirt and oxidation.

Benefits:

Water simply beads off the surface
Prevents new iron or dust deposits
Retains natural colour and breathability
Easier maintenance in the future

The result: a clean, dry, non-slip and long-lasting stone surface.
