Tip 1: The stone selections and the reasonable arrangement of maintenance time

　　We found that some stones turn yellow for a long time. In fact, in addition to the stone feature itself, some of these yellowish is caused by the unreasonable use of stone wax.

Nowadays, there are many types of stone waxes sold in the market, and it is difficult for consumers to choose the suitable wax, so sometimes the stone waxes they choose do not meet the requirements and make it worse. Therefore, to avoid improper use of stone wax, many people propose not to use stone wax for maintenance.

And some water-based stone waxes contain acid and alkali substances, which will damage the stone’s integrity on the surface and even to the internal structure of the stone. Therefore, we suggest not using such acid-base wax for the stones.

And nowadays there is a test paper for the stone wax to test if it has the acid and alkali content of the stone wax. We can test it and choose a suitable one for waxing.
