Your beautiful natural stone will garner some stains, spills, and scratches, and you need an effective, easy-to-use, and safe cleaning product that meets the environmental standards. But, where do you start? **< RELATED: [6 Tips To Clean Your Natural Stone Products](https://blog.decorativematerials.com/6-tips-to-clean-your-natural-stone-tile-products) >** [![Modern_Custom_Tile](https://blog.decorativematerials.com/hubfs/DMIL%E2%80%A2WP-Stone_Care_Guide-Photos/inspiration_modern_Custom_Cut_Thassos__China_Black_2.jpg "Modern_Custom_Tile")](http://www.decorativematerials.com/catalog/products/category/stone/) Remember these professional insights when deciding on which cleaning products to use on your natural stone products like countertops, floors, and showers:  - Do not use products containing lemon, vinegar or other acids as the will dull or etch calcareous stones. - Scouring powders or creams often contain abrasives that may scratch certain stones. - Many commercially available rust removers (laundry rust stain removers, toilet bowl cleaners) contain trace levels of hydrofluoric acid (HF). This acid attacks silicates in addition to other minerals. All stones, including granite and quartzite, will be attacked when exposed to HF. - Do not mix ammonia and bleach. The combination creates a toxic and lethal gas. --- [![Oceancare-pH-Neutral-Tile-and-Stone-Cleaner](https://blog.decorativematerials.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Oceancare-pH-Neutral-Tile-and-Stone-Cleaner.png?width=247&name=Oceancare-pH-Neutral-Tile-and-Stone-Cleaner.png)](http://www.oceancareproducts.com/pH-neutral-tile-and-stone-cleaner.aspx) So, what cleaning products do Decorative Materials recommend and sell to our clients?
