When using Cast Stone every effort should be taken to protect it during storage, setting, and even after it is installed. Keep Cast Stone stored above ground on pallets or non-staining planks and protected from construction traffic. The most common stains during the installation of Cast Stone are dirt and mortar. Excess mortar or dirt should be removed with a masonry detergent following the manufacturers cleaning recommendations. Metal or abrasive tools should not be used for cleaning as it could scar the Cast Stone. Once Cast Stone is installed it is recommended that it be covered for the remainder of construction to avoid staining or damage.
Regardless of the degree of protection a final wash-down will be needed. The use of raw acid is not recommended on any Cast Stone surface. Valley Stone Inc. (VSI) recommends the use of EaCo Chem NMD 80 New Masonry Detergent for cleaning Cast Stone. For best results use the EaCo Chem cleaning process found on our website at www.valleystone-inc.com.
